Silhouettes (The Hollowblade Saga, #1)

In the mountain valley of Eldhollow, grief has a new name — and it sounds like relief.

When seventeen-year-old Evan Eldholm finds his father dying on the ridge, pressed into his hands is a blade he doesn't understand and a single word: Remember. In the days that follow, Evan discovers that Eldhollow has been quietly learning to forget. His father's name goes unspoken. A missing old man is filed away without a search. A sick boy on Tanner Lane is isolated without anyone saying his name aloud....
