Hallowed Be Thy Name

In the city of Seraphine, obedience is a hymn sung through every wall, every street, every vein. Silence is not absence here—it is policy, programmed into memory and stitched into the body.

But when a single forbidden name surfaces in a place it shouldn’t exist, one woman begins to pull at the threads of a tapestry woven from surveillance, faith, and forgetting. What she finds beneath isn’t just a hidden truth—it’s an unmaking of the world’s most sacred lie.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a haunting, atmospheric descent into a society where control is scripture, history is curated, and memory itself is contraband.

Perfect for readers of dystopian stories, this second novel by Kiyoshi Takayama delivers:

• A richly imagined dystopian world steeped in ritual, ruin, and whispered rebellion.
• A deeply human core—characters bound by longing, loyalty, and the cost of remembering.
• A lyrical, cinematic voice that turns every act of defiance into poetry.

In Seraphine, forgetting is survival. Remembering is treason.
And some names refuse to be erased.
