Silent City A Novel by Sarah Davis-Goff

For fans of Station Eleven and The Last of Us, an apocalyptic tale of a
young woman fighting for life and justice in the tyrannical Phoenix City -
the only place in Ireland yet to be overrun by the flesh-eating skrake
Outside the walls of Phoenix City, where the plague has overrun Ireland, one
bite from the savage skrake means death or infection. Inside, Orpen and the
other survivors of the plague gather in meager numbers. They are protected
from disease and death, but the city is by no means a refuge.
Phoenix City is ruled with an oppressive hand, with even the best of the
leadership power hungry and ruthless. Orpen and the banshees - a fierce, allwomen force of fighters - keep the peace, or shatter it, depending on their
orders. But when two women are publicly executed, Orpen knows she must
make a choice between guaranteed survival within a cruel society or
treacherous freedom beyond the walls.
A story of friendship, justice, and belonging, Silent City is a feminist, voicedriven take on leadership in dire times.

Sarah Davis-Goff's writing has been published in The Irish Times, The
Guardian and LitHub . Last Ones Left Alive is her debut novel. She was born
and lives in Dublin.
