Seventeen-year-old Dafne lives under a silent, suffocating spell. Since birth , she has lost the ability to say "No." It isn't just a lack of confidence; it is a physical, bone-deep compulsion. If someone asks her a direct question or gives her a command-no matter how small or how dangerous-her body moves to obey before her mind can even scream.
She calls it The Echo. To survive, Dafne has learned to become invisible. She wears headphones to block out voices, avoids eye contact, and stays in the shadows of her hometown, terrified that the wrong person will realize she is a puppet waiting for a string.
When her father suddenly receives a high-paying promotion in the distant, polished city of Aurelia, the family packs up overnight. Her parents act as if the move is a reward, but Dafne knows the truth: the promotion is "hush money" from the company to keep the family from filing charges against the man who hurt her.
In Aurelia, everything is perfect, glass-fronted, and terrifying.
How will dafne will manage in a new place?
