AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'For two and a half years, Subject 684 --- "Jane Doe" --- has been locked underground in a secret government facility, enduring tests and torture. In that time, she hasn't uttered a single word. Not even her real name. Jane chooses to remain silent rather than risk losing control over the power within her. She alone knows what havoc her words can cause. Then the authorities put her in the care of the mysterious Landon Ward, and Jane is surprised when he treats her like a person rather than a prisoner. Ward's protective nature causes her resolve to crack in spite of her best efforts to resist. Just as Jane begins to trust him, though, a freak accident reveals the dangerous power she has concealed for years. It also reveals that the government has been keeping secrets of its own. Now Jane's ability is at the heart of a sinister plot for vengeance, and she has to decide whom she will trust ... and whom she will help.'

    'For over two and half years, Subject Six-Eight-Four — ‘Jane Doe’ — has been locked away and experimented on in a secret government facility called Lengard. In that time, she hasn’t spoken a single word.

    'As Jane’s resolve begins to crack under the influence of her new and unexpectedly kind evaluator, she uncovers the truth about Lengard’s mysterious program, discovering that her own secret is at the heart of a sinister plot.

    'Desperate to save her friends — and the rest of the world — from the looming danger, Jane must first question everything she has ever believed, especially when long-lost memories begin to surface and the mysteries of her past continue to grow.

    'Allies become enemies and enemies become allies, leaving her certain about only one thing:

    'One wrong move, one wrong word, could change the world.

    'The Whisper Series is an epic duology of Young Adult dystopian fiction consisting of Whisper and Weapon.'
