Whispering Lake
Book One of The Hushed Mythos

Mara once had a voice that could move hearts—until the moment it betrayed her on stage. Now silenced and broken, she returns to her childhood home on the edge of Whispering Lake, a place steeped in fog, forgotten memories, and reflections that lie.

But silence has a sound.

And it's singing back.

As Mara struggles with the loss of her voice, the lake begins to echo with impossible melodies—songs sung in her tone, whispers that mirror her thoughts, and ciphers hidden in the shadows. Something ancient, grief-fed, and music-born stirs beneath the glassy waters. Its name is Echoor, and it does not just mimic. It replaces.

Through haunting hallucinations, twisted reflections, and a cryptic journal left behind by her mother, Mara unravels a melody woven from trauma and myth. Each note brings her closer to a chilling truth: she isn't just haunted—she's being rewritten.

Can Mara reclaim her voice before it becomes a weapon in someone—or something—else's song?

Or will she become the next verse in an unfinished symphony of sorrow?
