This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The Emotion Collector: Awakening is a dystopian science fiction audiobook narrated by Jeanette.

In a future where the Harmony Council harvests emotions as hazardous waste, humanity has traded passion for peace, but at a terrible cost. Senior Collector Emma Thorne is the state's most precise weapon. Her job is simple: extract dangerous feelings from citizens before they spread. For six years, she has served the Council without question.

Then a four-year-old child's pure love breaks through her defenses. Then a mission fails on a stranger immune to her power. And Emma discovers the truth: emotions are living energy, vital to planetary survival, and the Council's peace is slowly killing the world.

The architect of Project Terminus, the plan to permanently sever human emotion, is Emma's own mother. With hours left before activation, Emma must choose between the woman who raised her and the survival of every living thing.

A gripping, high-stakes audiobook for listeners who devoured Delirium by Lauren Oliver, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fans of empathic protagonists, institutional conspiracy, mother-daughter drama, and ecological stakes will find a story that refuses to let go.

Themes: emotional suppression, authoritarianism, identity, sacrifice, moral ambiguity, planetary interconnectedness, found family, and the revolutionary power of love.
