Some secrets are buried in silence. Others refuse to stay hidden.

Elara never expected a knock on her neighbor’s door to change everything. But when Liam—silent, guarded, and wrapped in mystery—hands her a note instead of speaking, she realizes his silence holds more than unspoken words. It holds a past he cannot outrun.

A forgotten journal. A map leading to a place that shouldn’t exist. A door buried in the earth—waiting to be opened. As Elara and Liam follow the clues, the shadows around them stir, whispering of something lost… and something that wants to be found.
What happens when you listen to the silence?

You hear the things that were never meant to be spoken.

When Silence Speaks

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Veil’s Edge 


The world was a different place now. Elara could feel it in the air—charged with an energy that hummed beneath her skin, thrumming through every fiber of her being. The Heartstone, once a distant force she had only ever read about in ancient texts, now resided deep within her, its power as much a part of her as her heartbeat. The Veil, that once impenetrable barrier between worlds, had healed, but the scars of corruption remained, and they were now entwined with her very soul. 


It was no longer simply a matter of protecting the Veil. She was the Veil. And though she could feel its magic pulsing within her, she also felt its weight, its endless reach, stretching out into realms she could not even comprehend.
