The Emotion Collector

In a world where feelings are forbidden, one woman holds the key to humanity’s freedom.

Twenty-three-year-old Aria Thorne has always been different. As an expert Emotion Collector in a society where feelings have been systematically eradicated, she possesses a rare and dangerous gift: the ability to absorb and experience the emotions of others. But when she encounters Evan, a mysterious man whose emotions she cannot read, Aria’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

Drawn into a clandestine resistance movement, Aria discovers a shocking truth: her mother, the architect of the emotionless society, may have hidden a way to reverse the process. As Aria grapples with her newfound abilities and the weight of her family’s legacy, she must choose between the sterile “peace” she’s always known and the vibrant, dangerous possibilities of a world reawakened to feeling.

With time running out and the authoritarian Council closing in, Aria and her allies embark on a daring mission to reintroduce emotions to millions of suppressed minds. But in a society unprepared for the chaos of feeling, their success could lead to either humanity’s salvation or its downfall.

“The Emotion Collector” is a heart-pounding journey through a vividly imagined dystopia, exploring the power of human connection, the price of stability, and the courage it takes to feel in a world demanding indifference. Raven Fontaine’s novel is a tour de force that will leave readers questioning the very nature of what it means to be human.

Perfect for fans of “The Giver” and “Divergent,” this thought-provoking thriller asks: In a world without emotions, is it more dangerous to feel—or not to?
