Two teens. Two worlds. One wall that was never meant to be crossed.
Fifteen-year-old Malik has spent his entire life in the shadow of the Wall—a towering barrier dividing his community from a world of privilege he has never been allowed to see. On his daily walk home, he discovers something impossible: a tiny crack in the concrete…and a girl’s voice on the other side.
Ava, the daughter of a powerful family, lives a life wrapped in luxury but hollowed out by silence. She has always been told the Wall exists to protect her world—but from whom, and why, no one will say. When she hears Malik’s quiet song echoing through a pin-sized hole in the barrier, everything she thinks she knows begins to unravel.
What begins as a whispered conversation becomes a secret friendship, then a lifeline that neither of them can let go of. As tensions rise on both sides—protests, government crackdowns, widening fractures in the Wall itself—Malik and Ava must confront a truth their families, leaders, and society fear:
The Wall isn’t just a barrier.
It’s a lie. And it’s breaking.
Set against a backdrop of political unrest and generational inequality, The Hole follows two young people determined to understand the world they inherited—and to imagine one that could exist without borders, fear, or silence. Their voices cut through division. Their hope defies oppression. Their bond sparks the beginning of a revolution.
Powerful, emotional, and deeply human, The Hole: Volume I is the first installment of a sweeping series about love, justice, courage—and the cracks that appear when the truth finally demands to be heard.
