Overview

What if humanity was forced to feel every pain it had inflicted? When Maya Goddess awakens in a psychiatric hospital with the power to make others experience the consequences of their actions, she unleashes a global epidemic of forced empathy. Every touch becomes a reckoning. Every connection, a confession. As the ""synchronization"" spreads-from a homophobic nurse to senators, CEOs, and entire families-the world convulses with the weight of its own hidden truths. Those who've caused pain suddenly feel it. Those who've lived in denial are forced to see clearly. And some minds, unable to process the truth, shatter into something worse. But Maya carries her own devastating guilt: she let her trans sister Alexis die alone, choosing the safety of her closeted life over family. Now Alexis exists as something between living and dead, dancing through the consciousness of millions as the synchronization spreads. With the help of Dr. Maria Santos-a psychiatrist who chooses to share Maya's burden despite the killing cost-Maya must decide humanity's fate: Force the world to feel its collective sins Make everyone experience the love they've denied Or fragment herself across eight billion souls, becoming the whisper of conscience in every human mind A groundbreaking work of literary speculative fiction that readers are calling: ""Unforgettable and emotionally devastating"" ""The book that will rewire your empathy"" ""Essential reading for understanding collective trauma"" ""Beautiful, brutal, and absolutely necessary"" For readers of NK Jemisin's The Fifth Season, Carmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House, and The Power by Naomi Alderman.
