With her silvery-gray eyes and fraught resolve, she wades through the fog of betrayal and twisted justice. When a cryptic vision unveils a fractured history—werewolves sacrificed and bound, cursed to eternal torment—Amelia discovers the whispers are more than restless echoes of the past. They are a persistent storm of vengeance, clawing for release. But unsealing them might mean unleashing an age-old wrath that threatens to consume everything. Amidst the weight of her heritage, Amelia is not alone. Maya Everett, fierce and unyielding, discovers her own family’s involvement in the bonds that shackled the cursed. Together, their relentless search unearths hidden diaries, forgotten rituals, and fragments of truth, pointing back to a cracked altar deep in Blackthorn's woods. Each revelation is a shard of glass, cutting into the identities they thought they knew. Amelia’s father fell to the whispers before her—will she be the one to break the curse or will history repeat itself, fueled by collective deceit? As the moon rises, glowing faint and ominous, Cassian strides into their path. His scar and shadowy presence offer neither comfort nor clarity. He knows the whispers and their price, tethered to the curse as much as Amelia. Yet, his cryptic advice hints at both salvation and destruction. Can his intentions be trusted, or are they another piece of this elaborate web spun by generations? In this tale of sacrifice, deception, and unrelenting trust, justice and vengeance blur into a chilling spiral. Amelia must confront the past's darkest truths while navigating the razor’s edge of betrayal and absolution. The whispers demand blood, but in a shattered world of ancestral pacts and curses, the ultimate question echoes: can redemption ever truly be found, or is the cost far too great? The final test lies at Blackthorn's heart, where the whispers call her name, and the truth waits for those brave enough to claim it.
