Description
Tess of the Uber-Viles is a quietly powerful coming-of-age novel about perception, truth, and the cost of seeing clearly in a world that depends on distortion.
Tess is young, observant, and uncommonly difficult to mislead.
She doesn’t rebel loudly or seek attention. Instead, she notices patterns others overlook — in language, in behaviour, in silence. When an article she writes lands far deeper than intended, it draws the attention of institutions that prefer problems to remain unexamined.
What follows is not a public confrontation, but something more unsettling: a careful quiet, a watchful pause, and a series of conversations that reveal how power really operates — not through force, but through framing, omission, and control of narrative.
As Tess navigates media, authority, and moral pressure, she begins to understand that intelligence is not about credentials or status, but orientation. About where you stand, what you value, and what you refuse to extract from others in order to belong.
Neither dystopian nor fantastical, Tess of the Uber-Viles is grounded in the real world — one recognisable to any reader who has sensed that something vital is missing from public discourse, education, or modern life. It is a story about growing up without surrendering clarity, about courage that doesn’t announce itself, and about the quiet power of refusing to participate in what you know is wrong.
Thoughtful, unsettling, and deeply humane, this is a novel for readers who value intelligence, integrity, and the courage to see things as they are.
