Silenda
£12.99
Horatio is not a hero. Truthfully, Horatio is not a lot of things. But he is lost in a world divided by the light and the dark. Horatio’s family are Luxies—believers in the afterlife, whereas his best friend is an Umbra – a believer in eternal nothingness. When a terrorist attack strikes the city, Horatio’s powerful uncle recruits him to find the culprit. Alongside his best friend, a girl with no memory, a grumpy computer geek, a man named after a bird and the city’s most famous supermodel, Horatio uncovers a vicious underground organisation trying to exploit the most terrifying truth of all: what really happens when we die?
Consumed with modern day hot topics such as sexuality, politics and privilege, this book offers an alternate world to divulge in these discussions. Witty, action-packed and achingly honest, Silenda is a love letter to young people who have ever felt in limbo in a black-and-white world.
