Whispers of the Ether: The Struggle of Forgotten Jewels
Title: Whispers of the Ether: The Struggle of the Forgotten Gems
"In a world of magical whispers, she was born deaf. Her weakness is her only weapon."
Description:
In Celestia, a continent of floating islands that defy the heavens, power comes from the ability to "hear" the whispers of spirit gems-ancient crystals that grant their wielders the power of the elements.
But Lyra, a reclusive nineteen-year-old, hears nothing. Born "whisper-deaf," she is an outcast in a society that sees her ability to communicate with the gems as a measure of worth. She believes in logic and celestial maps, finding solace in the star-like silence understood by her mind, not her ears.
Her quiet, marginalized life is turned upside down by the arrival of Caian, a mysterious young man on the run from a bloody past. He is a "gifted listener," capable of hearing the most powerful gems, but he harbors secrets that may be more dangerous than the silence in which Lyra lives.
When Lord Malakor's henchmen-a tyrant seeking to collect the seven legendary jewels to reshape the world-attack Lyra's village, she is forced to flee with Kaian. Amid the chaos, she discovers that the mysterious artifact her parents left her doesn't react to the whispers of the jewels, but to the stars she has always loved.
Lyra is thrown into an epic journey across Celestia, pursued by a ruthless enemy and forced to trust a man she knows nothing about. She will discover that her "deafness" is not a weakness, but the key to a different kind of power-a cosmic force older and deeper than any jewel. A power that may be the only hope of saving their world from falling into the silent abyss that lies below...
