For Ashley Davis, a seventeen-year-old swimmer and All-State hopeful from Roanoke, Virginia, June 2020 was supposed to be about summer break and college recruiting. But when the sky falls silent and blind, hyper-sonic predators descend on Earth, Ashley's world is reduced to a single rule: Don't make a sound.
Separated from her family during a trip to Seattle, Ashley must use her swimmer's discipline-her lung capacity, her control, her ability to move in absolute silence-to navigate the first days of the invasion. From the burning streets of the West Coast to the abandoned Blue Ridge Mountains, she fights to reunite with her firefighter father and survive in a world where one whisper means death. Inspired by the canon of A Quiet Place, this is a story of family, grief, and the terrifying power of silence.
