For fans of Station Eleven and The Last of Us, an apocalyptic tale
of a young woman fighting for life and justice in the tyrannical
Phoenix City--the only place in Ireland yet to be overrun by the
flesh-eating skrake Outside the walls of Phoenix City, where the
plague has overrun Ireland, one bite from the savage skrake means
death or infection. Inside, Orpen and the other survivors of the
plague gather in meager numbers. They are protected from disease
and death, but the city is by no means a refuge. Phoenix City is
ruled with an oppressive hand, with even the best of the leadership
power hungry and ruthless. Orpen and the banshees--a fierce,
all-women force of fighters--keep the peace, or shatter it,
depending on their orders. But when two women are publicly
executed, Orpen knows she must make a choice between guaranteed
survival within a cruel society or treacherous freedom beyond the
walls. A story of friendship, justice, and belonging, Silent City
is a feminist, voice-driven take on leadership in dire times.
