The Frequency of You

Aiden Cross is a reclusive college student haunted by the Soul-Echo — an involuntary ability to hear the raw, unfiltered inner cries of anyone experiencing extreme grief, fear, or loneliness. To survive the noise of a world in constant emotional agony, he hides behind matte-black headphones and a carefully maintained distance from everyone around him. He does not want to be needed. He especially does not want to be loved.

Then he meets four girls whose silence is louder than anything he has ever heard.

Evelyn, a blind piano prodigy whose inner world speaks in symphonies of grief. Lyra, a Siren pretending to be mute, whose true voice only Aiden can hear without being destroyed. Serena, an ice-cold heiress stalked by an ancestral shadow wraith that has been whispering darkness into her mind for years. And Iris, a girl trapped in a year-long coma whose astral projection wanders the campus, invisible to everyone — except him.

When Aiden answers the silent cries each of them has given up on anyone ever hearing, something irreversible begins. For the first time, someone truly listens. And when four wounded souls find their only anchor in one person, the line between being needed and being loved becomes the most dangerous frequency of all.

As a soul-devouring enemy closes in — one who engineered their wounds and now wants to harvest them — Aiden must choose between the distance that kept him safe and the love he never believed he deserved. Because the girls have already chosen. The only question is whether he will finally let himself be heard.
