<p><strong>Whispers Beneath the Hollow</strong></p><p><strong>by Brinda Phokeerdass</strong><br><em>Some voices never die. They only learn to hide.</em></p><p>When Orla Wren inherits a crumbling estate on the haunted coast of Mauritius she expects dust secrets maybe even a ghost. She doesn't expect a ravine that breathes a journal that bleeds or a lullaby whispered through the mouth of a dead child.</p><p>Drawn into a world where memory is currency and the earth itself has teeth Orla uncovers the truth her family buried: a legacy of blood offerings colonial guilt and a pact with an ancient spirit that sleeps beneath the banyan roots. But the Hollow is waking-and it remembers every name her ancestors tried to forget.</p><p>As drums echo from the cave and the extinct dodo stirs in dreams Orla must decide whether to break the cycle-or become its next offering.</p><p>Visceral poetic and richly atmospheric <em>Whispers Beneath the Hollow</em> is a tropical gothic tale of inheritance extinction and the voices we silence to survive.</p>
