About this title

Synopsis

In Sunder, love is dangerous, difference is deadly, and survival means hiding the truest parts of yourself.
Samone has spent her life concealed from the world. By night, she is a human with no voice. By day, she is a siren, deaf, and forgotten. Haunted by the death of her mother and trapped under her grandmother’s cruelty, Samone longs for the one thing she has never had: a life free of her curse.
East knows another kind of hiding. In a town where men like him are killed for loving other men, his secret relationship with Innis exists only behind closed doors. But when the yearly trials of the Parse arrive, and Innis is forced to compete in them, East must choose between love and his identity.
Fate pulls Samone into the lives of those she has only watched from afar. Bound by their secrets, longing to be true to themselves, and the threat of losing at love, Samone and East must face a society built to destroy everything it cannot understand.
Some stars were never meant to shine openly, but some refuse to stay hidden.
To be free, they must both be seen.
