When Silence Takes Hold (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the remote mountain village of Mayhem, life follows one sacred rule: Every night, the entire village must fall asleep at exactly 10:10 PM.

No exceptions. No questions. No memory of why.

For centuries, the villagers simply obeyed the nightly descent into silence-believing it kept them safe. But to Hexa Rael, a restless 18-year-old who feels caged by Mayhem's traditions, the rule has always felt wrong, like a story missing its ending.

Then one night, 10:10 PM arrives... and Hexa doesn't fall asleep.

She becomes the first person in generations to stay awake-and what she witnesses in the minutes that follow shatters her understanding of reality. The houses of Mayhem shift. Shadows crawl where nothing exists. Old doors creak open as if pulled by invisible hands. And the sleeping villagers whisper names they shouldn't know.

Hexa discovers that the sleep is not natural. It is forced.

Something beneath Mayhem awakens at night. Something the village has been hiding, suppressing, and burying beneath tradition.

As Hexa digs deeper, she uncovers forgotten diaries, an old map stitched into a dead woman's shawl, the unsolved disappearance of six children-including one with her name-and a hidden chamber that hums through the soil long after midnight.

When the truth surfaces, Hexa realizes the people of Mayhem aren't just sleeping. They are being silenced.

Now she must stay awake, night after night, while the rest of the village dreams, sleepwalks, and unknowingly follows a path set centuries ago. But awakening the truth means confronting a night that Mayhem deliberately erased from its memory-a night tied to betrayal, fear, and the kind of collective guilt that shapes generations.

As the clock nears 10:10 PM each night, Hexa must make a choice:

Break the rule and free Mayhem-or sleep like everyone else and forget she ever fought.

A chilling, emotionally charged thriller blending folklore, psychological suspense, and a mystery that forces readers to question how far a community will go to protect itself.

Faizi, known to readers as fAIzi, is a genre-bending author celebrated for blending razor-sharp wit with riveting plots. Whether it's a sentient sapling outsmarting the grim reaper, a malfunctioning toaster hiding state secrets, or a romance erupting in the crossfire between logic and chaosFaizi's books defy expectations while delivering emotional resonance and laugh-out-loud moments.

Fusing mystery, thriller, crime, romance, and comedy, Faizi has carved a niche for stories that are at once absurdly imaginative and deeply human. Every novel is a cocktail of compelling characters, quirky premises, and intelligent storytelling that keeps readers hooked from the first page to the last twist.

Faizi's work is known for:

• Complex yet lovable characters (often navigating chaos, crimes, or corporate drama)
• Cleverly layered narratives filled with suspense, secrets, and surprises
• A fine balance of humor and heart, where jokes and emotions hit with equal force
• Dialogues that sparkle with wit, making even the darkest plots charmingly readable
• Inventive world-building, where even the mundane becomes extraordinary

When not writing, Faizi is either:

• Overthinking character arcs while stirring tea
• Making spreadsheets of potential plot twists
• People-watching and pretending it's research
• Reading three books at once (one of which is probably about crime, one about love, and one completely absurd)

With a background in storytelling, tech satire, and a deeply romantic heart hiding behind sarcastic one-liners, Faizi brings both intellect and emotion to every page.
