Ella is a skilled soldier, rivaled only by her infamous team leader, Crow.

Years of grueling missions in the wilderness have forged her team into her family, but in a single day, a bloody betrayal shatters it all.

Picking up the pieces of her life, Ella must uncover a way to The Quiet, a sacred and enigmatic realm whose entrance is guarded fiercely by their government. She overturns every secret in her path, unknowingly freeing Jackson—a curse-bound warrior and survivor of an ancient tragedy. But his release is just the beginning, for in opening the door to The Quiet, Ella unwittingly disturbs a far more dangerous one.

Locked and bolted, the door of her past rests like a coffin in the silence of history. Despite all her efforts, she feels the hinges snapping, and learns that no buried secret can stay dead forever, especially when it has a life of its own.
