The silence wasn't a miracle. It was a scream into the wind with nowhere to go.
In the rugged coastal village of Winterwell Bay, the world has stopped. There hasn't been a crime in three years. No arguments, no pub brawls, no petty vandalism - not even any littering, only a shimmering violet haze that no one can see and a blanket that smothers the town in an unnatural "Peace" that feels more like a prison than a haven.
The Ministry of Defence calls it an anomaly worth investigating. Section Six thinks it is a puzzle worth solving. But for the two very unusual GCHQ specialists, Sage and Emily, the truth is found behind the heartbreak of one very special resident.
Three extraordinary women meet and discover a hidden conspiracy that is causing one of them major pain.
Find out what happens when Sage, an ancient soul with a gaze that can bend wills, and Emily, a mother whose aura can stop a criminal dead in his tracks, meet Margaret, a woman whose broken heart is keeping a whole village subdued.
As the team digs deeper, they uncover a web of cold-blooded deception:
A Missing Husband: John Wentworth didn't just disappear off the street after buying milk; the team needs to find out whether the cartel hitman succeeded or if the MOD effectively erased him to fuel a twisted social experiment.A Living Shield: The "Peace" is the only thing keeping a cartel hit squad from eliminating their second target.A Race Against Time: To reunite a family, Section Six must dismantle a government cover-up and outmanoeuvre assassins who are beginning to wake up from their trance.In a world of redacted files and manufactured lies, Sage, Emily, and the Section Six team must decide: Is uncovering the truth worth shattering a peace that keeps everyone safe?
