For Amber Tran, a star swimmer at Lubbock High, the loudest sounds were the roar of the crowd, the splash of the pool, and the laughter of her friends. Her world was a vibrant tapestry of school, sports, and the fierce loyalty of her team. Everything shattered in the summer of 2020. Now, lethal creatures that hunt by sound stalk the Earth. The slightest noise means death. Haunted by the memories of her friends lost on the first day, Amber must use a swimmer's discipline-controlled breathing, silent movement-to survive. Her only hope is to cross a silent, monstrous America and reach the last evacuation point. Her destination is a place where sound still lives: Australia. An island the monsters cannot touch. To get there, she must master a world of silence, or be consumed by it. The story shifts between different swimmers how they survive the Invasion.

"සඳරාස මලක් රෑට විතරක් පිපෙන්නේ, අඳුරට බය නැති හඳ වතක් හම්බ වුණාමයි. ගිය පාර රිදුණත්, මේ රෑ ඒ සුවඳ අහිමි වෙන්න දෙන්නෙ නෑ."

She wrote the love letters. He signed his name. They were both falling for the same girl. Christine Lee measures her life in milliseconds: the time between a starter beep and her dive, the split-seconds that define a race at the Texas State Championships, and the ticking clock until her Stanford application is due. In the pristine, pressure-cooker world of Highland Park High, she's a model student, a champion swimmer, and a ghostwriter of genius. When Marcus Jones, the basketball team's socially-awkward star, begs her to write love letters to cheerleader Ellie Watson, Christine agrees-because she's harboring a secret crush on Ellie, too. Now, she's texting the girl of her dreams through Marcus's phone, crafting a poetic persona that isn't his, and tutoring him in charm at Starbucks study dates. As Ellie falls for the mind behind the messages, Christine is trapped in a love triangle of her own making, forced to confront her identity, her desires, and the cost of living through someone else's name. How long can you ghostwrite your own heart before the truth surfaces?

Two boys discovering how love can be through sports, love and friendship. ---- It starts with ten minutes before track practice, in company of the boy Ezekiel sees everyday, everywhere since so many years. Ten minutes to know each other, to watch, to notice. Ten minutes to share looks, to hide smiles and suppress laughter. Ten minutes to hold hands, yet to fight with words. Ten minutes for the other boy to find reasons to hate Ezekiel. The thing is, this deal was supposed to last a few days, a few weeks at most. Now, it's been months.

In the elite, high-pressure world of Australian swimming, Jeon Jeongguk is the "Brine", a force of nature from Perth who treats the pool as a sanctuary of isolation. He has built his life on clinical discipline, but his composure is being scorched by the one man he can't outrun. Kim Taehyung is the "Burning", a Gold Coast firestorm whose reckless speed and media-darling smirk make Jeongguk's blood boil. For three years, their rivalry has been the heartbeat of the circuit, a jagged friction of near-misses and locker-room glares. Jeongguk claims to hate him. He tells himself the frantic hammering of his heart in Lane 4 is just adrenaline, until a physical altercation in a Brisbane tunnel is caught on camera, and the world misinterprets their raw aggression as "romantic tension." With their funding pulled and careers on the line, the Australian Swimming Board issues an ultimatum: Fake a romance or lose the gold. Forced into the "Stardust Initiative," Jeongguk must trade his daggers for "date nights" at Darling Harbour and scripted intimacy on the sands of Byron Bay. But as the PR mask slips, a terrifying truth emerges: the "annoyance" Jeongguk felt was never hate, it was a yearning so deep it threatens to drown them both. Now, as the Olympic Trials loom, Jeongguk faces the most dangerous race of his life. Because when the contract ends and the cameras stop rolling, the only thing left to do is find out if they were playing a part, or if he's finally ready to burn.

"I fucking hate you." "You shouldn't really say things like that when my dick is up your ass, Jeon." Two hot-headed athletes with overflowing rage and unwinding sex drive is very much never a good combo. Taehyung and Jungkook never see eye to eye on things. Despite being caged in the same group of friends in the same swimming team of the - yes, you guessed it - same high school, the star swimmers of Norton High hadn't exactly made good first impressions to each other on the ill-fated day they met, and let's just say things spiraled horribly from there. The two rage-fueled boys always thought that they're in this feud for the long haul until one argument escalated into something that at no point in any of their lives would they allow to happen if only they did not get a little too out of control. Sex. There's a thin line between love and hate, and Taehyung and Jungkook's barrier just keeps getting thinner and thinner. A.K.A. Taehyung and Jungkook were fuckbuddies... up until they weren't.
