In the Wake of Your Name

A Suspenseful Romance of Memory, Loss, and Redemption

In the fog-laced coastal town of Buskmoor, memory is a fragile thing—and Mira Carson is about to discover just how dangerous forgetting can be.

Still grieving the loss of her mother, Mira returns to her childhood home only to find an eerie emptiness lurking behind the familiar streets. Faces seem familiar but detached. Neighbors whisper of events they can't quite recall. And at the heart of it all is the derelict Vale estate—once home to Iris Vale, a cryptic woman with unsettling knowledge of Mira's past.

As she begins to unpack the remnants of her mother's life, Mira uncovers a buried experiment that altered not just minds but lives—an underground project led by the brilliant and remorseless Langford Hale, who wielded the science of memory like a weapon.

With the help of Liam, a childhood friend with his own haunted past, Mira must confront the ghost of a town that has willfully forgotten. What begins as a search for truth becomes a race against a legacy designed to erase her and everyone she loves.

As love, betrayal, and secrets collide, Mira must decide: will she flee the ghosts of her past, or anchor the future in the wake of her name?

In the Wake of Your Name is a slow-burning, atmospheric novel that blends the aching tenderness of romance with the disquieting undertow of suspense. For readers who loved The Silent Patient, Rebecca, or The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this story is a haunting reminder that healing begins when we remember.
