No One Leaves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187197071)

No one leaves. No one ages. Something is keeping them alive.

For five years, survival expert Elias Monroe has been running from Ravenswood-the cave rescue where four people died under his command. When an impossible island appears in the South Pacific, surrounded by a permanent storm and broadcasting a distress signal from 1944, Elias sees a chance at redemption.

He joins an expedition of scientists, soldiers, and specialists to cross the weather wall. What they find is not a castaway refuge. It is a prison.

The island heals every wound. It returns the dead to life. It preserves bodies for centuries-but at a cost. Memories fade. Identities dissolve. And no one who sets foot on the shore can ever leave.

As the island begins to expand, Elias uncovers a terrifying truth: this place was not created by accident. It was built as an ark-a preservation system designed to save humanity from itself. But the system has lost its original purpose. Now it collects without consent, and it will not stop until everyone is stored.

With a mysterious boy who speaks for the island, a community divided between faith and resistance, and a corporate fleet closing in to harvest immortality for profit, Elias must make an impossible choice.

Break the anchor and free everyone-or preserve the island and remain trapped forever.

NO ONE LEAVES is a gripping speculative thriller about guilt, redemption, and the price of living forever.
