Echoes of the Listening Mountain

Echoes of the Listening MountainThey went up the mountain as children and came back as echoes. When sixteen-year-old Ravi Chandran is found barefoot on a coastal road, three months after vanishing with his scout troop, his body is broken but his mind is worse-something is living inside his memories, wearing his voice, learning to be human. Psychiatrist Mira Dass has seen trauma before, but nothing prepares her for the whispers that follow Ravi from the plateau, or the figure that appears in her mirror wearing her dead father's face.
As the lines between self and other begin to blur, Mira must confront a terrifying truth: the mountain doesn't want their bodies. It wants their identities. And it has been practicing on her for years.
