Summary
Celia was thirteen when everything changed. Pressured into a school talent show by her relentlessly optimistic music teacher, she sang a bittersweet, half-finished song—and watched the audience unravel. Laughter, sobbing, panic: her voice did something to people, something unnatural. That night, Celia learned her voice wasn’t just voice anymore—it was a power she didn’t understand.
Her mother didn’t take it well. Frightened and unwilling to face what her daughter might become. Hurt, confused, and desperate not to be a burden, Celia packed her bag, took her guitar, and left before dawn—telling herself it would make her mother's life easier.
For the next decade, Celia became a wanderer. Taking the name Echo, she drifted across cities and states, never staying long enough to form roots. She lived out of van backseats, motels, and rooftops, performing in smoky bars and empty alleys.
She was never trying to be a hero. Just a girl with too much power and too many memories, trying to do something good before she disappeared again.
But no matter how far she ran, Echo couldn’t outrun the echo of her past—or the hope that, one day, someone might still be singing back.
