Mirella's life doesn't collapse all at once.. it unravels.
After a crash and getting kicked out of home, she drifts through the city's forgotten edges, surviving wherever she can.
That's where she finds the abandoned places. And the people who use them.
A secret crew operates out of sealed-off buildings, helping clients erase themselves for cash, identities wiped, records destroyed, new lives built from nothing. The rule is simple: people choose to disappear.
Mirella joins them because she needs shelter. She stays because she's good at it.
Then she meets Ferial, someone sharp, guarded, and impossible to read, who sees through Mirella faster than she's comfortable with. Their connection is quiet, fragile, and dangerous in a world built on secrets.
When a client asks for a forbidden favor, to erase someone who never agreed, the crew's rules begin to break. Loyalties fracture. Violence creeps closer. And Mirella has to decide what matters more: survival, love, or the line she swore she wouldn't cross.
Silenced Hearts is a tense urban thriller novel about identity, loss, and what it costs to disappear.
