The Whispering Dark (Hardcover)

Product Description

Lane has always talked to the dark.

She just never expected it to talk back.

When Delaney ‘Lane’ Meyers-Petrov is assigned to Godbole University’s controversial new-age programme, she must learn to channel her uncanny abilities to cross between worlds. A chronic people-pleaser, she’d be a model student if it weren’t for the course’s capricious Teaching Assistant, Colton Price, who seems determined to despise her.

But Colton has a secret: when he was nine years old he died. Quite impossibly, he woke moments later at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. When she told him to live, he obeyed. Now, twelve years later, that same girl (Lane) has stumbled back into his orbit. But Colton’s been ordered to keep far away from the new girl and her ghosts.

The day a former Godbole student turns up dead, Lane and Colton form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply-buried university secrets. When something old and nameless takes root in Lane’s bones, they’re left scrabbling to exorcise the entity before it tears her and their forbidden partnership, apart.

With the body count steadily growing and Lane’s soul on the line, they discover the deadly toll of leaving the space between worlds open for too long…
