In the Republic of Coredia, silence is the law. Words are monitored, history is erased, and truth is the most dangerous crime of all. A journalist who refuses to forget, an accountant who discovers a ledger of lies, and a general betrayed by the oath he swore unite to form an unlikely rebellion. They uncover a secret capable of shattering their nation's foundations. Their plan is desperate and dangerous: hijack the government's broadcast system and force the people to hear the truth they have been forbidden to speak. Their victory is swift and explosive. The regime appears to fall. The silence breaks at last. But in the aftermath, a more terrifying reality awakens. They learn that some truths are not weapons. They are instruments of control, carefully laid traps waiting to be sprung. The very sound of freedom becomes the key to a more perfect and absolute silence. This is a story about the weight of a stolen voice, the cost of a twisted truth, and the crushing realisation that sometimes to win the battle is to lose everything.
