Where the Silence Sings is the dark and dastardly first instalment of The Symphonic Masquerade series, a character-driven tale about identity, secrets, and epic exploration set against a sci-fantasy backdrop. Perfect for fans at the cross-section of the Final Fantasy franchise, N. K. Jemisin, and Joe Abercrombie.
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie.
And Aeyun's choices will always come back to haunt him.
In self-imposed exile, Aeyun has taken up the life of an ore-smuggler. In exchange for his smithing talents, a small crew of principled thieves have welcomed him into the fold, assisting his search for elusive ore that only he seems able to touch.
The rebellious second sibling of the Thasian legate, Seraeyu Thasian has wrangled power beyond his imagination. Power, he comes to find, is seldom given freely.
A mercenary's life is never easy, especially when unwelcomed interlopers remain the only connection held with darling Raeyu Thasian. But Sakaeri would be damned if she didn't help the only family she never needed.
Starting with a bloody reckoning, Where the Silence Sings throws us into the fire that stokes the winds of change; a discordant note that heralds a new and foreboding dawn.
This edition includes a 'compendium of memories', which explores the pasts of our cast in bite-sized vignettes.
This genre-bending first instalment of The Symphonic Masquerade series from debut author Emery Blaine sets the stage for a sweeping series full of mysteries and twists.
