About this title

Synopsis

On a remote Scottish island where wind, salt, and silence shape every day, Mara and her son Leo live quietly, studying the soil, mapping sound, and finding peace in isolation. But the government’s automated welfare surveillance system, known only as the Shield, never stops listening.

When Leo’s exceptional intelligence draws unwanted attention, the Shield’s gaze turns toward their small croft. What begins as harmless “monitoring” becomes a silent war, drones over the moor, lights in the fog, and questions that go too deep.

With the help of a conscience-stricken insider, and the island’s secret network of rebels, Mara must fight for her child’s right to exist beyond the system’s reach.

Blending lyrical prose and near-future suspense, Through the Fire is a stunning dystopian debut. A story of resilience, science, and the quiet revolution of a mother’s love.

Perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood, Naomi Alderman, Emily St. John Mandel, and Claire North.
