Short Description:

In a decaying industrial capital where human emotions are harvested, distilled, and sold as luxury art, curator Leonora Foxglove has spent her life preserving sorrow behind glass for the city’s elite. But when a mysterious painter begins covering the museum walls with haunting orange murals, she uncovers the truth behind the collection she once revered.

At the center of the museum lies the Sighing Glass — a magnificent vessel containing the stolen grief of a boy named Callan Rivers. As Leonora’s carefully ordered world begins to fracture, she is forced to confront the horrifying cost of beauty, memory, and emotional consumption.

Velvet Rooms of Silence is a haunting gothic dystopian novel about stolen humanity, artistic rebellion, and the terrible elegance of grief preserved forever.
