WHISPERS BENEATH THE PINES

“A fierce, sharp-tongued girl returns to a forgotten town shrouded in secrets and mist, haunted by the whispers that lie beneath the pine trees rather than the past she ran away from. Before the forest started calling her name, June didn't think that ghosts or curses existed. Zayden has been burdened by an inexplicable darkness throughout his entire life. He hides behind silence, cold, unreadable, and feared by many, until she returns to his world. The one and only girl who ever made him feel like more than a shadow. However, forgiveness is difficult for the Hollow. Something ancient awakens beneath the town, a presence that demands answers and sacrifices as long-held truths come to light and unspoken childhood bonds start to fall apart. June and Zayden now have to face suppressed memories, untangle twisted ancestries, and decide whether to defy fate or change it. However, there is only one question left when the hurt is profound and miscommunications threaten to destroy them: Can the ghosts that once destroyed love live on? The darkly poignant fantasy romance Whispers Beneath the Pines explores trauma, recovery, and a love that can still silence the most blaring wounds.”
