Whisper

Whisper (2018) is the first book in Lynette Noni's YA duology, a tense speculative thriller about a girl whose silence is the only thing keeping the world safe.

For two years, the prisoner known only as Subject Six — or "Jane Doe," as she calls herself — has been held in a secret facility, enduring endless tests and torment without speaking a single word. She has learned that her voice is dangerous: when she speaks, reality bends to her will. When a mysterious young man named Ward is assigned to her, offering the first real kindness she has known in captivity, the walls she has built begin to crack, and long-buried truths about who she is, what was done to her, and what she can do rise to the surface.

Fast-paced and twisty, blending science fiction, fantasy, and dystopian suspense, Whisper is a gripping series opener about power, control, and reclaiming one's voice.
