The Quiet Hours
In a London where every household is issued a nightly compliance window, Mara Venn repairs municipal listening equipment for a living and learns how much of the city is being edited out. When a routine fault reveals a hidden pattern in the broadcasts, she starts tracing a system built to keep people calm, obedient, and conveniently forgetful. The closer she gets, the more the city begins to notice her back.
