The crows never came. And the silence that followed is killing them.
In the isolated village of Blackmarsh, an ancient ritual fails?and with it, the fragile balance holding something dark at bay. As an unnatural silence descends, villagers begin to vanish, leaving behind only strange, iridescent feathers.
Elinor, a deaf orphan who "hears" the world through vibration, senses the truth others cannot: the silence is alive... and it's hunting.
With an outcast woodsman and a wounded crow as her only allies, Elinor must unravel a buried secret before the Great Quieting consumes everything.
Dark, atmospheric, and haunting, A Silence of Crows is a chilling tale of folklore, fear, and the power of what cannot be heard.
