A compelling, addictive fantasy with romance and real-world resonance.

Teenaged Jane Doe (aka Alyssa) has been locked in a secret underground government facility for over two years, as authorities have tried—unsuccessfully—to get her to speak. She knows her words have a dangerous power, and she's vowed never to unleash it again. But now a young evaluator, Landon Ward, is assigned to break her resolve. The last thing she expects is for him to be keeping secrets of his own... The act of speaking has never been more potent—or more potentially deadly.
