The Silent City

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Imagine a world where silence isn't just absence-it's oppression. You live in Elysium, a city that was once alive with noise and energy, now eerily frozen in stillness. No laughter echoes through its empty streets. No music fills its crumbling buildings. The catastrophe that stole sound also shattered the bonds holding humanity together. Communication has become a struggle of gestures and scribbled notes, and despair looms like a shadow over what little remains of society. But you're not ready to give up-not yet. As Aria Whitlock, you carry the weight of loss on your shoulders, haunted by memories of your younger brother and the life you once knew. Yet somewhere inside you burns a flicker of hope, stubborn and unyielding. When faint vibrations lead you to an abandoned sound laboratory hidden in the ruins of Elysium, you realize the silence might not be permanent-and neither is the isolation it brings. Your journey takes you deeper into the decaying heart of the city, where danger lurks around every corner and answers lie buried beneath layers of grief. With your loyal childhood friend Kai by your side, you'll encounter others who have survived the silence: Dr. Lila Graves, a reclusive scientist with cryptic knowledge; Mira Voss, a resourceful survivor skilled at navigating the city's hidden tunnels; and Silas Brand, an enigmatic figure whose secrets could change everything. Together, you'll piece together the truth about the silence-a revelation more profound than you ever imagined. What you uncover will challenge everything you thought you knew. The silence isn't just a disaster; it's a manifestation of collective grief, a psychic echo of pain too deep to bear. To break it, you'll need to do more than solve a mystery-you'll need to confront your own fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities. And as factions among the survivors rise-some clinging to silence as protection, others desperate for connection-you'll face impossible choices that test your courage, resilience, and belief in the power of human connection. In The Silent City, you'll embark on a gripping young adult dystopian adventure that explores the strength it takes to find your voice when the world has gone silent. Through evocative prose, heart-stopping suspense, and deeply emotional moments, this novel invites you to grapple with universal themes of grief, self-discovery, and the enduring power of hope. If you've ever wondered how far you'd go to reclaim what's been lost-or if you simply crave a story of resilience, mystery, and the unbreakable human spirit-step into The Silent City. This is your chance to discover that even in the deepest darkness, you can find your way back to light.

Autorenporträt

At Elstran Books, stories aren't just words on a page-they're the sparks that light up young hearts and minds. We're a team of indie authors who know what it's like to get lost in a book and come out a little different on the other side. That's why we write Young Adult novels that dive deep into love, identity, courage, and the tough choices that shape who we become. From messy first loves to twisty mysteries and wild adventures through new worlds, every story we create is built to leave a mark. We write for the dreamers who stay up too late turning pages, the rebels who believe in something bigger, and the quiet souls looking for a voice that gets it. We choose to stay indie because we believe stories should come from the heart, not a boardroom. Every book we write carries that love-because before we were writers, we were readers too. Come along for the ride. One story. One spark. One journey at a time.
