When free speech dies, truth becomes treason. In the aftermath of Sovereign Blood , the American experiment is unraveling. A populist president and a fractured Congress push through the Citizens Protection Act, a sweeping law that criminalizes dissent and dismantles the First Amendment in the name of “national security.” Newsrooms are shuttered. Reporters are detained. And silence, once voluntary, becomes enforced. For investigative journalist Scout Langley-Voss, the war on truth is personal. With her husband Jagger and her partner Becca Holt, she builds a covert network of underground journalists determined to expose the government’s censorship machine. From safehouses in Montgomery to encrypted channels overseas, their work becomes the last defense against a state built on lies. But the closer Scout gets to uncovering the president’s secret alliance with a corporate data syndicate, the more she risks becoming the very thing the government claims she is a threat to America itself. As democracy collapses, one voice refuses to be silenced. A pulse-pounding political thriller for readers of The Night Agent , Homeland , and House of Cards , The Republic of Silence is a story about courage, loyalty, and what it truly means to speak when the world demands quiet.
