This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
When Elena Ashford moves to Grayhaven, she expects the city to be another place where she can keep her distance from everyone. She has learned to live carefully since the loss of her younger sister, Lily, carrying a regret she has never been able to put into words. Then she begins seeing Echoes—strange manifestations of the regrets people cannot let go of.

Most people never notice them. Elena does.

So does Tyrique Sterling, a quiet boy who seems to understand the Echoes far better than she does. He teaches Elena that they are not ghosts and cannot simply be destroyed. They are the visible weight of unfinished feelings, and interfering with them comes at a price. Tyrique knows that price personally. Once, he tried to take another person's burden onto himself, and it changed something inside him forever.

Elena promises she will not make the same mistake. But watching people suffer is harder for her than following the rules.

As Elena becomes closer to Tyrique and begins finding a place among new friends, she discovers that the life she has been trying to protect herself from may be the life she actually wants. Yet the more deeply she cares, the more she risks losing. When she finally reaches for another person's Echo, she learns that compassion can have consequences—and that some wounds cannot be healed by carrying them for someone else.

Then Grayhaven begins to fill with Echoes.

At the center of the growing crisis is a manifestation that looks like Lily.

To save herself from the regret she has carried for years, Elena must finally confront the past she has spent so long trying to survive. But accepting what cannot be changed may require a sacrifice far greater than she imagined.

The Price of Echoes is a supernatural coming-of-age novel about grief, memory, regret, and the dangerous courage of allowing yourself to love again. Because some things can be forgotten by the mind without ever completely leaving the heart.
