SOME CITIES ARE BUILT ON STONE. GIRTIN IS BUILT ON SILENCE. To the outside world, Girtin is a fortress of industry and order. To those trapped within its walls, it is a prison disguised as a home. In Girtin, there are rules for everything: where to walk, who to speak to, and which secrets must never be whispered. But Chris Okey Nnokwam knows the tighter you grip a society, the more violent the rebellion will be when it finally breaks loose. Drawing on his background in analyzing power structures and systemic control, Nnokwam delivers a claustrophobic thriller about a city where the truth is the most dangerous contraband. When a stranger arrives in Girtin asking questions that no one dares answer, the city's delicate balance of power begins to fracture. From the smoke-choked slums to the gilded halls of the ruling class, a conspiracy is unraveling. This is a story about the cost of compliance and the terrifying courage needed to be the first one to say "No." "A dark, atmospheric journey into a society where freedom is a memory, and survival is a crime." Welcome to Girtin. Watch what you say.
