[Book 1] She escaped a house of cruelty and silence only to seek refuge in the tower of a man the world calls a monster. The Ridley girl cannot speak. Her past is a secret written in scars. When she escapes her father's estate, she expects death... not the cold mercy of Archmage Evior Asmodeus Malficar. The Archmage is powerful, reclusive, and feared throughout the land. His name alone keeps kingdoms trembling. But within the wards of his ancient tower, nothing is as it seems... least of all him. As strange magic stirs in the air and light itself begins to answer her presence, she must decide whether her silence will protect her... or destroy them both. #1 in magic out of 297K stories on Nov 11, 2025!!! #1 in mage #1 in archmage #1 in magicalworld

The kingdom is sleeping. The monsters are not. An ancient enemy has returned, and Argren is bleeding. Goblins, ogres, and the undead march under the banner of a shadowy power, and the northern frontier is the first to burn. Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who'd rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He's no chosen one, but he's all they've got. Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom's last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom. Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.
