Synopsis
When does a profession become one's life? That was a question Alex wanted an answer to.
For Alex, being a gravekeeper isn’t just a family tradition—it’s his destiny. Born into a lineage of gravediggers and caretakers, Alex thought his life would be nothing more than tending to headstones and digging graves. But from a young age, he discovered his chilling secret: he can see and touch the dead. Worse still, he can let spirits possess his body to fulfill their final wishes.
Initially terrified of his supernatural gift, Alex learns from a wandering shaman that his fate isn’t permanent. If he helps enough restless souls find peace, he can break free from this curse. Driven by the promise of freedom, Alex dedicates his life to aiding the dead, even when it means facing vengeful spirits, unspoken tragedies, and dangerous secrets buried with the deceased.
But not every ghost wants help. Some are angry, others manipulative, and a few guard dark truths that could upend the living world. With every spirit he aids, Alex learns more about the thin line between life and death—and the weight of carrying other people’s burdens.
As whispers of a particularly malevolent spirit reach Alex’s ears, he is drawn into a mystery that threatens not only his destiny but the safety of the cemetery and the world beyond it. Will Alex’s gift become his salvation—or will it bury him alongside the souls he’s trying to save?
Whispers of the Grave is a haunting and heartwarming tale of duty, sacrifice, and the power of understanding, perfect for fans of supernatural mysteries and character-driven drama.
