The First Whisper. The Echo-Bound Saga, #1

Elara Vance has always seen things others don't. Not ghosts, but Emotional Echoes - lingering psychic imprints of intense joy, sorrow, rage, or fear, replaying events in the very fabric of the world. A burden she's learned to live with, until a chilling cold case forces her to confront the true power, and danger, of her gift. When a decades-old disappearance resurfaces, Elara is drawn into a labyrinth of fragmented memories and raw emotions.
The old house where the victim vanished pulses with a desperate sorrow, but something else lurks beneath the surface - an unsettling emptiness. Places where echoes should scream are eerily silent, as if something has devoured the very essence of the past. The First Whisper plunged Elara into a world where the dead speak, but a new, sinister entity called the Collector threatens to silence them forever.
She must learn to navigate the fragile line between understanding and madness, for the whispers she hears might be her only clue, or her ultimate undoing.
