Some secrets were never meant to be touched.
When American art restorer Alyssa Cole travels to Moscow to escape her grief, all she wants is inspiration. But an antique silver bracelet at a flea market changes everything. The moment she touches it, she feels the first echo: bone-deep cold, the scent of fresh bread, and a woman's voice crying in the dark.
That woman was Katya Volkova, a ballerina who vanished in 1947. But she didn't die. Part of her was sealed into the bracelet, a victim of a secret Soviet program called Project Echo. Scientists were trying to harvest human emotion and store it in physical objects. They succeeded. The echoes are still alive.
With the help of Russian historian Nikolai Volkov—a man who doesn't believe in ghosts but can't explain what she's seeing—Alyssa races across Russia searching for the truth. But they're not alone. Powerful forces are gathering the remaining artifacts, planning to complete the Echo Chain: a network of haunted objects that could give whoever controls it dominion over human emotion itself.
As the danger escalates, Alyssa faces an inescapable truth: the echoes she carries make her the most valuable piece in the game. And to free the trapped souls, she may have to sacrifice her own.
The "Echoes of the Kremlin" series is a quartet of novellas blending historical mystery, the supernatural, psychological suspense, and slow-burn romance. Set in post-Cold War Russia, the past is not dead. Objects hold memories. And the dead still have something to say.
