Lines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233965791)

In the city of Mirasol, the world changed in a single heartbeat. One moment, the streets were bustling with life; the next, invisible, impenetrable lines sliced through the pavement, buildings, and even homes. Families were separated by inches of clear air, and the simple act of a touch became a distant memory. The city had been divided into a silent grid, and the Council of Order intended to keep it that way.

Amara, a young woman who finds peace in the soil of her community garden, is suddenly a prisoner in her own neighborhood. Across the invisible barrier stands Luan, a kind-hearted history student who refuses to let her be alone. Their connection is forbidden, but Amara discovers something impossible: she has a gift. When she focuses on her memories of warmth and love, the hard air of the barrier softens. She can reach across.

As the Council tightens its grip, introducing new technology to enforce isolation, Amara and Luan must flee the city. Their journey takes them through hidden tunnels, across a sea divided by walls of black stone, and into a hidden city built on the dangerous power of forgetting. Along the way, they find that they are not just fighting for their own happiness, but for the soul of a world that has forgotten how to speak.

"Lines" is a cinematic, deeply emotional journey through a world where human connection is a crime. It is a story of hope in the face of total isolation, and a reminder that no matter how many walls are built between us, the human heart will always find a way to cross. Beautifully written and globally resonant, this novel explores the beauty of the "noise" of life and the ultimate power of a bridge built on love.
