When Men Whisper

In the nation of Eirene, peace was built on silence.

After a catastrophic war blamed on male aggression, women rose to power and rewrote the world. Now men are registered as Providers. They do not vote. They do not govern. They do not debate. They do not raise their voices.

If they do, they are labeled sassy.

And sassy men disappear.

Malik Kennedy has mastered the art of neutrality. He watches public corrections without flinching. He speaks only when necessary. He buries his anger where no one can hear it - not even himself.

Because he knows what happens to men who sound firm.

He watched it happen to his father.

But when a man is publicly sentenced for nothing more than defending his wife, something shifts inside Malik. And when Arielle Vaughn daughter of a high-ranking official in the Order of Poise begins asking questions no woman wants to ask, silence starts to feel less like survival...

...and more like surrender.
