Two years after The Shattering silenced the world, lone survivor Elara fights for every scrap. Forced to join a grim band of travelers, she's placed under the protection of Cael, a formidable guardian shrouded in a trauma-induced silence. She sees a jailer; he sees the last spark of hope in a dead world. As the dangers of the wasteland close in, his silent actions speak louder than any words ever could, and Elara discovers that in the ruins of civilization, the most dangerous thing to risk is her heart.
