There is no before. There is no after. There is only the White Room.
Her entire world is twelve by twelve paces. Perfect. Silent. Empty.
She doesn't know her name. She doesn't know how she got here. She only knows the voice that brings her food and the walls that keep her safe.
Or are they keeping her prisoner?
A hidden message changes everything. Scratched onto a piece of paper, passed from a girl who came before, are three words that shatter her existence:
"They are listening."
And a warning: "Be careful what you say."
Now, the questions are more dangerous than the silence. Who put her here? Why are there six missing subjects before her? And what is the terrifying truth behind the "Phoenix Protocol"?
To escape, she must do the one thing she's been forbidden to do: trust. But in a place where every word is monitored and every friendship could be a trap, the greatest threat might not be her captors...
...but the girl they designed her to be.
