The ground isn't just settling. It's being silenced. And Rowan Kim is the only one who can hear the truth. In the crumbling mining town of Dunlow, West Virginia, silence is a luxury no one can afford. Nineteen-year-old Rowan Kim knows the sound of disaster better than anyone. Years after a mine collapse took her hearing, her specialized "DeepEar" implant allows her to process vibration as pitch-turning the world into a constant, overwhelming symphony. But lately, the mountain is singing a wrong note. When a sudden sinkhole swallows the high school gym, the corporate giant HollowPeak Mining is quick to offer "relocation packets" and "healing concerts" to the terrified residents. They claim it's natural settling. But Rowan's implant picks up a mechanical hum hiding beneath the earth-a frequency designed to mask the sound of active, illegal drilling. HollowPeak isn't fixing the town. They are managing its collapse. Teaming up with a garage engineer, a defiant pastor, and an old miner who knows the dark, Rowan must turn her disability into a weapon. To expose the company's "resonance dampers," she can't just make noise. She has to lead a Sound Strike-a coordinated rhythm of silence and impact powerful enough to break the machine's hold. If the town wants to survive, they must learn to breathe together. Before the floor drops out for good. Bone Orchestra is a visceral, rhythm-driven thriller about corporate greed, community resilience, and the power of listening when the world wants you quiet. Perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer and intricate, sensory-based sci-fi.
