“You are not safe here.” Voices constantly echo in Silas Carrow’s mind. As he’s grown older, they’ve grown louder. And clearer. Mute by birth, Silas has learned to disappear into the solitude of silence. But the silence is where the Voices dwell. Where they whisper, where they warn, and where they refuse to be ignored. When their murmurs erupt into a tragedy that rips Silas from the only life he’s ever known, he is forced onto a road he never wanted to walk. One that will uncover the truth about who he is, why he exists, and what the Empire has buried beneath generations of lies. The Brassanthium Empire hides secrets so deep that their reveal would overwrite history. Only Silas has the power to unearth these secrets, but he’s running out of time. And the Empire will stop at nothing to smother the truth. Even if it means falling to ruin, humanity along with it. Schedule: New chapters launch every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:03 a.m. EST. What to Expect: —A deeply immersive steampunk world. —A slow-burn, atmospheric mystery that prioritizes lore and psychological tension over cheap thrills. —Long, dense chapters crafted for readers who want to lose themselves in the prose. —An unforgiving world where choices carry weight, scars run deep, and triumph is never guaranteed. What Not to Expect: —An overpowered main character clad in plot armor. —LitRPG elements, level-ups, or progression fantasy. —Romance or a romantic subplot. —An action-packed narrative that rushes through its world-building.
