Silent dusk- Transported to a new world without sound

When 17-year-old Aoto, a deaf teenager, is involved in a devastating car accident, he never expects to wake up in a completely different world—one without the familiarity of sound, but filled with danger and mystery. Imprisoned in a cage and sold at a clandestine auction, Aoto finds himself the property of Garius Mosscrest, a mysterious man who wears a blindfold and speaks in riddles. Instead of treating Aoto as a captive, Garius becomes his reluctant guardian and introduces him to Nycon, a subterranean city rife with shadows, secrets, and shifting allegiances.



As Aoto tries to survive in a world built for those with power, he must navigate a society that doesn't understand—or care about—his disability. But Nycon holds deeper mysteries than Aoto ever imagined. Whispers of ancient "Gates" that lead to other realms begin to surface, and Aoto realizes his arrival in this world may not have been accidental.



With a unique perspective shaped by his deafness, Aoto must rely on intuition, trust, and his own hidden strengths to face a hostile world. Silent Dusk is a compelling blend of fantasy, disability representation, and slow-burn world-building that challenges the boundaries of communication, perception, and survival.
