The Quiet Game

di Jay Lackey (Autore)

Mutant Strain, 2026

The monster didn't keep her. He taught her. Twenty years ago, eight-year-old Maya Miller was stolen from her driveway in Oakhaven. The town mourned, the family shattered, and her sister, Sarah, spent two decades waiting for a ghost. Then, the miracle happened. Maya came back. But the woman who walked out of the woods isn't a broken victim seeking comfort. She is cold, calculated, and terrifyingly efficient. While the town celebrates her return, Sarah watches her sister retreat to a secluded ranch, fortifying it with high fences and soundproof rooms. Maya claims she needs peace. She claims she needs silence. But as Sarah tries to reconnect, she realizes she isn't just helping her sister heal—she is being enrolled in a dark curriculum. Maya has brought back a philosophy from the dark: that empathy is a weakness, noise is a danger, and the world is divided into those who eat and those who are meat. Now, with local girls disappearing and her own marriage crumbling under the weight of Maya's influence, Sarah must decide how far she will go to protect her sister. Is she saving a survivor? Or is she becoming an apprentice?
