Publisher's Synopsis
Title: The Silence of the Well
Description:
A remote village. An ancient secret. A silence that kills.
Dr. Aser Saleh is a man running from his ghosts. Haunted by the suicide of a patient, the disgraced psychiatrist flees the bustling city of Riyadh for a fresh start in Dumat Al Jandal, a forgotten village nestled deep within the misty Asir mountains. The isolation is suffocating, the silence profound. But it is the ancient well at the village's heart that chills him to the bone.
The locals call it the Well of Souls. They whisper of a pact made in blood and stone-a pact that requires a sacrifice to keep a primordial evil at bay.
When Aser's first patient vanishes after complaining of "the well's call," Aser dismisses it as rural superstition. But as more villagers disappear, and he himself begins to hear faint whispers on the edge of silence, his scientific certainty crumbles. He finds himself trapped in a battle between logic and legend, sanity and the sinister pull of the well.
To uncover the truth, Aser must confront the village's grim guardians and a terrifying folklore that feels horrifyingly real. But in a place where the dead speak, is he the doctor, or the next patient? And is he trying to solve a series of murders, or is he simply the next soul chosen to be silenced by the well?
For fans of psychological horror and slow-burn mystery, The Silence of the Well is a chilling descent into a world where ancient traditions demand the ultimate price
