He took her voice. She will take time.

Thealina’s husband carved out her tongue, silenced her in the most barbaric way, but not her will to fight. After decades of emotional abuse, this brutal act of violence pushes Thealina to fight back!

Determined to reclaim her stolen voice, and identity, she seeks out the help of Rafe — a forbidden time traveler who carries secrets of his own. Together they slip into the past, where danger lurks in every shadow and the cost of rewriting history could shatter them both. As she crawls her way toward freedom, Rafe becomes more than an ally — he’s the first man who listens, who sees her strength rather than her scars.

Someone who forces her to choose herself.

But while he knows she is destined to be his, he will not claim her by force.

To win back her voice, her future, and her heart, Thealina must claw back her own power… and choose if love can be more than another chain.

She lost her tongue. She found her fury. And maybe... her future.
