Parallel Lines

Emily’s first year of college is supposed to be normal: classes, new beginnings, figuring life out. But normal disappears the moment she meets Eric.

He’s a ghost with no memory of how he died.

And somehow, he needs her help.

Pulled into a mystery she never asked for, Emily joins Eric in following the trail of a strange gemstone that shifts colors as if it knows the truth. Every clue they uncover leads deeper into a hidden history, one that connects their families in ways no one is ready to explain.

But they’re not the only ones searching.

A mysterious figure named Caroline appears whenever the truth gets close. She watches. She waits. And she wants the gemstone back. Worse, she seems to know Eric from before his death though he remembers nothing of the life she’s referring to.

As secrets surface and danger closes in, Emily and Eric are forced to face a past that refuses to stay buried. And somewhere between the answers they chase and the silence between them, something unexpected begins to grow: quiet, unspoken, and impossible to ignore.

Some mysteries change everything.

And some connections refuse to let go.
