Omschrijving

She offered them comfort. They gave her their sorrow. Now, she carries the weight of their names.

When a devastating accident robs a small town of its children, Elara Vance's quiet life as a teacher is shattered. But her grief is only the beginning. A strange, terrifying power awakens within her: the ability to physically absorb the anguish of others.

A cold, heavy stone appears in her chest—the anchor of a little boy's final loneliness. Soon, a father's rage etches itself as a shard of flint on her leg; a mother's boundless love becomes a slab of amber fused to her spine. Her body is no longer her own—it is a living, breathing monument to the dead, a collection of stony weights that grant her the memories of their final moments.

As the town begins to heal, Elara bends under the crushing burden. To survive, she must make a choice: sever the sacred ties that are killing her, or embrace her tragic role as the Grief Eater and carry the weight of their names forever.

A haunting and profound novel about the cost of empathy, the shape of loss, and the love that remains when everything else is gone.
