Description
A story of trauma told through unfiltered realism and clinical noir.
Dr. Hanna Nowack built a life on fragile ground. For nine years, she protected her daughter, rebuilt her career, and trusted the people around her.
Every piece of that life hides a secret.
When the façade fractures, Hanna is left in the wreckage of betrayal-forced to confront what was never truly buried. The monster she faced in chains was only the beginning. What follows is far more personal.
Now, a new threat closes in: a stalker whose fixation is invasive, escalating, and lethal.
To survive, Hanna must navigate a life torn between two men with conflicting motives-the one who walked away and the one who refuses to.
As trauma, control, and obsession collide, she must become the ruthless survivor she never wanted to be.
Because the ghosts she tried to outrun were never gone.
They were waiting.
The lies tore them apart.
The truth might destroy them all.
Book Two in The Lies That Bind Us series.
Note: This novel contains dark, mature themes including trauma, stalking, obsession, and psychological violence. Reader discretion advised.

Person
Sophia Zane is a trauma-forward author of psychological suspense, writing for women who carry scars. Her emotionally charged thrillers explore the fragility of memory, the weight of trauma, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. With layered narratives and morally complex characters, her stories dive deep into the minds of survivors, criminals, and those caught in between, where truth is never simple and secrets rarely stay buried. A former interviewer and researcher, Sophia blends lived experience with emotional depth to ensure authenticity on every page. She is passionate about telling stories that resonate, especially with readers who have felt voiceless or unseen. She lives in Virginia with a small army of rescue animals and can usually be found curled up with a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and her cat Kevin, who insists on supervising everything. She is a proud member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association. Her debut novel, The Lies We Whisper, launches The Lies That Bind Us series. While The Lies We Whisper is a work of fiction, its character dynamics and psychological depth were inspired by interviews Sophia conducted with real-life inmates. Book Two, Beyond the Truth-also shaped by this research-is currently in the works and scheduled for release later this year.
