Silence and the Storm

Gardo Reyes is a gentle giant, a man of immense strength who lives in a constant state of quiet control. A failed super-soldier experiment left him with a terrifying gift: his body absorbs kinetic energy, charging him like a living battery. The more he is attacked, the more powerful he becomes, but this power demands a catastrophic, explosive release. He is a walking apocalypse, and his greatest fear is the collateral damage of his own survival. He is a fortress of silence.

Liway Martinez is a reclusive artist, a woman of ethereal beauty who believes she is a curse. She is a powerful empath whose emotions can warp the very fabric of reality, unleashing cascades of impossible "bad luck" on those around her. She has spent her life on the run from a power she cannot control, a chaotic storm hidden behind a fragile, graceful exterior.

In a quiet coastal town, these two broken souls find a sanctuary in each other. He is the only person whose silence can calm her inner storm. She is the only one who sees the gentle man, not the monster. But when a ruthless, clandestine government agency, the PCOD, comes to claim Liway as their asset, their fragile peace is shattered.

Forced on the run, their monstrous secrets are revealed to each other in the most brutal way imaginable. They discover that their powers, while dangerously compatible, are also their only hope for survival. He is the anchor; she is the tempest. To stay alive, the man of silence must embrace his explosive power, and the woman who is a storm must learn to aim the hurricane. Silence and the Storm is a super-powered romance about two people who can save the world, but are terrified they might destroy each other in the process.
