Where Memories Sleep

A LOVE THAT ERASES. A GIFT THAT CONSUMES. A WOMAN MADE OF GLASS FIGHTING TO STAY HUMAN.Iris wears the pain of the world beneath her skin. Every stranger's grief, every friend's heartbreak, etches itself onto her body as silver fractures and phantom burns. She is a walking archive of human sorrow—until she meets Leo.With Leo, there is only peace. His touch is a cool balm, smoothing her scars, quieting the endless noise. For the first time, Iris feels light. She calls it healing.But as her wounds fade, so do her memories. Her skin grows strangely translucent. Her reflection becomes a ghost. Leo whispers that she is being remade into something purer, something beautiful and eternal.Desperate for answers, Iris discovers the terrifying truth beneath his quiet love: a hidden gallery of crystalline women, each a frozen empath like her—perfect, silent, and utterly hollow. Leo is not a healer. He is a collector. And Iris is his most prized specimen, almost ready for display.To survive, Iris must shatter the serene prison he has built for her. But freedom comes at a devastating price: fully awakened, her empathy is now a torrential flood of the world's agony and ecstasy, threatening to crack her fragile glass body from within.Hunted by Leo and drawn into a hidden war among connoisseurs of stolen sensation, Iris must forge her fractured self into a weapon. She must learn that some scars are not meant to be erased, but carried—and that the most beautiful strength is found in the flawed, noisy, and gloriously human cracks.For fans of the eerie tenderness of Our Wives Under the Sea, the psychological horror of The Vegetarian, and the dark fantasy of Mexican Gothic, THE SILENCE THAT BLOOMS is a haunting and visceral novel about the cost of peace, the violence of compassion, and the radical choice to feel in a world that wants you numb.Discover why to be loved by some is to be consumed… and how the deepest magic lies not in perfection, but in the break.
