What would you sacrifice for the ones you love?
Hearts of a Vanishing City is a sweeping narrative that brings the brutal censorship of Fahrenheit 451 to a disease-ridden world where a zombie-like virus hides more secrets than Girl with all the Gifts.
One hundred years after outbreak nearly destroyed humanity, society is changing again as a new disease spreads. Four different couples navigate impossible choices, pitting their own survival against a dangerous future.
The governing DDC has designed a society to keep people safe: the clinics, the rules, the curfews, even the education system. In this dystopian world, choice is gone before anyone knows it's missing, and danger lurks for anyone who questions the system. People like Mora with her old-world tablet and supposedly extinct pet raven, Zayd, a factory worker out to make a better life for his growing family, or Park, a promising student who's just washed out of the prestigious Institute system. Others, like dissenter loyalist Simons, are already standing up to the DDC's overreach.
The curious and courageous must make heartbreaking decisions to shape a more humane world.

Early Praise for Hearts of a Vanishing City:

"Spectacular world building! Fear of the past battling against present fears of control."

"A thoughtful and richly rendered novel about censorship, authority, and liberation."- Kirkus
