A Resonance of Silence

In the Dominion of Veritas, power is light. A person's worth is measured by the color of their magical Aura, a vibrant spectrum that grants strength, status, and purpose. But Hannah is a Void-colorless, powerless, and branded an outcast. Her only refuge is the dusty silence of the Grand Repository, where she lives as a ghost, hiding from a dystopian society that fears her as a leech upon its perfect order.


When a magical cataclysm shatters the city's heart, a wave of raw, chaotic power awakens a terrifying, forbidden magic within her. No longer just a Void, she is branded an "Aberrant," the ultimate heretic and monster of children's nightmares. With her quiet life destroyed, Hannah becomes the most hunted person in the empire, her very existence a threat to the Lord Justicar's iron-fisted rule.


Sent to capture her is Warden Austin Bailey, the Dominion's perfect soldier and the ruthless enforcer of the system she despises. But when their chase plunges them into the forgotten depths of the city, they unearth a threat far older than any law-shadowy creatures that feast on magic-and a conspiracy that reaches to the very heart of the Dominion.


Forced into a desperate alliance, hunter and prey must flee across a dying wasteland, unearthing a secret history that could shatter their world. The truth is not what they were taught. The heroes were monsters, the saviors were heretics, and the light they all worship is the lock on their cage. To survive, they must trust the one person they were sworn to destroy. To win, they must become the spark that ignites a rebellion.
