Claim the Silence

Taren Valis survives by keeping her head down and her ink steady inside Wyrmere’s monastery scriptorium. But when she breaks a forbidden seal stamped with the crown’s hidden sigil, one violet line rewrites her life: some truths are meant to die with kings.

The Order of the Sealed erases her name from every record and sends its quiet hunters to reclaim the words she’s seen. The only path forward is deeper into the dark—into outlaw taverns that trade in living ink, into an Archive that shouldn’t exist, and into a Codex that remembers what the world was forced to forget.

A prince bound by silence steps from shadow with a dangerous offer: trust him, and follow the map buried beneath the capital. Refuse, and watch your voice—your name—be taken next.

In a realm where language is law, Taren must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to unseal the truth…before the truth unseals her.
