Between Shadow and Silence

In the fractured remnants of a once-mighty empire, where nightfall brings mist and monsters, magic is both a curse and a weapon—and secrets are deadlier than swords.



Kael Veyne is a nobody. A stable-born bastard with no legacy, no allies, and a shadow that isn’t entirely his own. When he’s conscripted into the Whisperers—an elite order of spies, assassins, and magical manipulators—he expects only pain and death. What he doesn’t expect is the shadow creature bound to him: Tenebris, a sentient darkness that grows stronger the more Kael suffers.



In a world where power is shaped by trauma, and monsters whisper truths no one dares believe, Kael finds himself caught between loyalty and survival, silence and revelation. Every mission tears open old wounds. Every secret points to a buried truth: that Kael might not just be dangerous—he might be hunted for what he is.



As ancient cults rise and the Duskveil spreads across the land, Kael is forced into uneasy alliances, including one with a brilliant but cold fellow Whisperer, Eline Mora. She sees something in him—and wants nothing to do with it.



But fate doesn't choose Kael. He chooses.



And in the darkness between shadow and silence, the cost of truth may be his soul.
