Deze serie stort lezers op een vijandige buitenaardse planeet waar elk levend wezen de gedachten van anderen kan horen. De protagonist navigeert door deze constante kakofonie terwijl hij geheimen over zijn verleden en een gevaarlijke samenzwering ontrafelt. Het is een spannend avontuur vol actie, morele dilemma's en de zoektocht naar waarheid in een ontblote wereld.
Prentisstown isn't like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in a constant, overwhelming Noise. There is no privacy. There are no secrets. Then Todd Hewitt unexpectedly stumbles on a spot of complete silence. Which is impossible. And now he's going to have to run..
Fleeing before a relentless army, Todd has carried a desperately wounded Viola right into the hands of their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss. Immediately separated from Viola and imprisoned, Todd is forced to learn the ways of the Mayor's new order. But what secrets are hiding just outside of town?
As a world-ending war surges to life around them, Todd and Viola face monstrous decisions, questioning all they have ever known as they try to step back from the darkness and find the best way to achieve peace.
