For Aneeka Fernando, senior year at Arcadia High was supposed to be about PRs, college letters, and making every moment with her friends count. A Sri Lankan-American and the backbone of the Titans' swim team, her world is filled with the sharp smell of chlorine, the easy laughter of her best friend Sonia, and the butterfly-chasing energy of Leah and Camryn. Their biggest fear is the starting buzzer at the 2019 State Championships.
That was before the stars fell on Barcelona.
Now, Aneeka is stranded on a school trip thousands of miles from her family in Phoenix, thrust into a nightmare where the slightest whisper means death. The things that came from the meteorites are blind, but they hunt by the smallest sound. In the chaos of a fallen city, Aneeka, Sonia, Leah, and Camryn must use the very things that made them a team-trust, precision, and the ability to hold their breath when it counts-to navigate the silence. Their only hope for survival lies in a desperate race to the sea, because the creatures cannot swim. But in a world that has gone quiet, the loudest threat might be the fear growing within.
