Books like The mime order by Samantha Shannon
When Paige Mahoney breaks free from the harsh penal colony Sheol I, her freedom opens a new nightmare: she becomes one of London's most sought‑after fugitives. The omnipresent Scion hierarchy eyes her move, while underground slime dots—mime‑lords, mime‑queens, and the ten‑man Seven Seals led by Jaxon Hall—attempt to seize the city’s tide. Tensions rise in the psychically attuned community where telepathy and clairvoyance clash, setting the stage for a sprawling urban dystopia where resistance to government authority is the only hope.
