First comes silence

Power does not return with fanfare. It returns quietly - wearing another name.



Eliza Caerwyn is the ghost of a noble house no one speaks of. A girl with no status, no fortune, and no place in the empire's war for succession. But when a feared duke bends the knee to her in the middle of a storm, the court begins to whisper.



Whispers, after all, are how empires fall.



And this time, someone is listening.



A story of loyalty bought in blood, revenge buried in memory, and a crown that waits not for the strongest - but the one who remembers how it was stolen.
