Silent Approach

For sixteen-year-old Lily Carson, a deaf teenager spending the weekend with her father at his remote cabin, silence is nothing new. But when strange flashes of light ripple across the water one restless night, her silence becomes a lifeline—and a curse.

Through her binoculars, Lily sees men moving with military precision, unloading crates and marking routes in the dark. Weapons. Maps. Signals. They’re preparing something terrible. A violent strike on the nearby town. And no one knows but her.

Her father doesn’t understand her frantic signing. The phone lines are already dead. The attackers are cutting off every way out. Trapped in isolation, Lily has only one option: act.

Slipping into the shadows of the forest and the chill of the lake, she uses every ounce of her ingenuity to warn others. A flash of moonlight on glass. The rhythm of a paddle striking water. Coded signals only she can create. With each daring step, she gathers unlikely allies and edges closer to exposing the plan before it’s too late.

But silence cuts both ways. Every sound she makes could betray her. Every move could draw the men’s attention. And if they find out she knows, she won’t live to see dawn.

Silent Approach is a pulse-pounding thriller of courage and survival, where one girl’s quiet strength stands between a peaceful town and sudden devastation.
