The Silent: A Romantic Fantasy Novel of Angels, Magic, and Fated Mates

In the hidden world of the Irin, Kyra is one of the kareshta, daughters of angelic descent who never found their voice. She’s lived in the shadows, her gifts dormant and her potential unknown. She has spent her life quietly, putting her family's needs before her own desires. 

But a mission to Bangkok is about to change everything.

What begins as a diplomatic mission sends Kyra deep into the world of free Grigori, fallen sons of angels who may be allies, may be enemies, and may hold the key to the future of her kind. For the first time in her life, Kyra is somewhere no one knows her name. And the woman she's been hiding might finally have room to breathe.

Leo has known Kyra for years. He's been patient. He's given her space, time, and every courtesy a scribe can offer a woman who wasn't ready. But when her face turns up in surveillance photographs halfway across the world, patience gives way to something more urgent, and Leo realizes that biding his time is no longer an option.

This slow-burn romance set against the vivid backdrop of Southeast Asia is a love story about a woman finally stepping into her own power and the warrior who has been waiting for her all along.

The Silent is the fifth book in the Irin Chronicles, a contemporary romantic fantasy series by eleven-time USA Today bestseller Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries. Fans of Nalini Singh and Ilona Andrews will find the same deeply satisfying blend of paranormal world-building, slow-burn tension, and romance with real emotional stakes.
