Silver Lockhart didn’t disappear – she escaped.
After years inside a closed, brutal system that trained her to survive at any cost, Silver surfaces in Saint Lake, a quiet coastal town in Maine, determined to live unnoticed. She builds a security consulting business, rents a room in a modern house at the edge of the woods, and learn, slowly and awkwardly, how to exist among people who don’t expect violence as a baseline.
But systems don’t dissolve just because you leave them.
As Silver’s past begins to leak into her present, she’s forced to confront a dangerous truth: survival skills don’t vanish when the threat does. They calcify. They wait. And sometimes, they demand to be used again.
The Silver Line is a grounded, character-driven thriller about control, autonomy, and the long road from endurance to something like peace. It is not a redemption story. It is a survival story, one where happiness is possible, but never simple.
