They each took a page. They thought it would end there. It didn't.
Nicole Tran works quietly in the shadows-translating ancient texts no one else wants to touch. But when she's handed a manuscript older than memory, written in a language meant never to be spoken, her life begins to unravel. Pages go missing. Symbols appear on her skin. And those who come into contact with the manuscript are disappearing-or worse.
It doesn't want to be read. It wants to be heard.
As Nicole digs deeper, she uncovers a hidden network of carriers-people marked by the manuscript, each bearing a single page, a single curse. But Nicole isn't just another translator. She's becoming part of the manuscript itself. A living sentence. A mouth waiting to speak the unspeakable.
Her son is missing. Her roommate is unraveling. The manuscript is writing itself into her.
From the ruins of ancient altars to abandoned warehouses and silent rooftops, Nicole must trace the manuscript's origin before the final page is read-because what's being written isn't a story...
It's a voice.
And it's about to speak through her.
