The Quiet Ones is a psychological urban thriller about three people whose silence hides something far more dangerous than anger or violence.
Jake is a man who believes calm means safety. Sylvia is a woman whose stillness masks calculation. Tasha is the observer who understands that the best power move is to let others unravel in public. Their lives collide through subtle manipulations, staged moments, and carefully planted doubt?never loud, never obvious, always deniable.
The story unfolds through tension rather than chaos, showing how reputations can be dismantled, relationships rewritten, and truth reshaped while the world watches for entertainment instead of warning signs. What looks like instability is often strategy. What appears to be madness is preparation. And by the time the pattern becomes clear, the damage is already done.
This book explores control, humiliation, and the modern spectacle of public judgment, revealing how easily narratives can be engineered and how quickly a life can be turned into a punchline. Tales of the Quiet Ones is not about who screams the loudest?but about who stays quiet long enough to win.
