Breaking Silence

When Staci was first shunted off to the backwater town of Silence, Maine to live with her alcoholic mother, she thought her life was over. Silence had none of the amenities a typical teen in the twenty-first century considered essential: no cell service and barely any internet connectivity. But Staci soon learned that Silence was more than a town left behind by progress. The first family of Silence, the Blackthorns, liked the town that way. The Blackthorns were dark elves who fed off the misery of the residence of Silence.But now, all that's changing for the better. With the help of Staci and her friends, the Blackthorns have been all but defeated. Industry is returning to Silence, and Staci's mom is improving with each passing day. There's even a cute new busboy at the diner.But evil dies hard. And Staci, now a mage-in-training, senses that the Blackthorns have not yet given up the. The soul of Silence is on the line, and it is up to Staci and her friends to fight back against the encroaching darkness.Serrated Edge SeriesBorn to Run (#1) by Mercedes Lackey and Larry DixonWheels of Fire (#2) by Mercedes Lackey and Mark ShepherdWhen the Bough Breaks (#3) by Mercedes Lackey and Holly LisleChrome Circle (#4) by Mercedes Lackey and Larry DixonStoned Souls (#5) by Mercedes LackeyElvendude (#6) by Mark ShepherdSpiritride (#7) by Mark ShepherdLazerwarz (#8) by Mark ShepherdSilence (#9) by Mercedes Lackey and Cody MartinThe Chrome Borne (omni contains Born to Run and Chrome Circle) by Mercedes Lackey and Larry DixonThe Other World (omni contains When the Bough Breaks and Wheels of Fire) by Mercedes Lackey, Mark Shepherd and Holly Lisle
