‘Riveting. Martin weaves an inspired premise into an engrossing and wholly original adventure’ – Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One

A mother's love can be deafening . . .

Isaac is Hannah’s entire world. If she lets her guard down, he will be taken from her.

When the Soundfield arrived twenty years ago, the world changed with it. Now, people are forced to live at night due to the deadly heat, food and water are scarce, and everyday life is punctuated by a constant and disconcerting hum. Hannah spent her early career working on the enigma of the Soundfield, looking for answers; now, she focuses all her energy on keeping Isaac living, not just alive.

To do so, she will have to lie to the people she knows and hope she can trust the ones she doesn't. The only thing more dangerous than her lies, is the truth of what she has done.
