About this listen

In the city of Mechanika, everything runs on rhythm.

Gears turn. Steam flows. The Heart at the city’s core keeps every district alive through a single, perfect beat.

Anya Liron knows that rhythm better than anyone. As a runner, she listens for faults deep within the city’s machinery. But one night, she hears something impossible—a second pulse beneath the Heart. Not a malfunction. A hesitation. A signal.

Following the sound leads Anya into sealed tunnels, abandoned designs, and a buried prototype the city was never meant to remember. With the help of a scavenger who knows what the Council hides and an engineer who once helped build the Heart itself, Anya discovers the truth: Mechanika was never meant to be ruled by one voice alone.

As the hidden core begins to wake—and the Heart starts to respond—the city stands on the edge of a silent war between control and conscience. To save Mechanika, Anya must decide whether balance can be restored… or whether some systems were buried for a reason.

The Heart of Mechanika is a cinematic YA science-fiction novel about invention, rebellion, and listening to the voices that power tries to silence.
