The Seventh Silence

THE SEVENTH SILENCE

In a world where Aura flows through every living soul, magic is as ordinary as breathing.

Spells are taught in schools. Priests wield miracles. Kingdoms wage wars with mages. And above them all stands the Church-a sacred institution ruled by the mysterious Council of Elders and their chosen Saints.

The Saints are worshipped.

The Elders are feared.

And the Dead Apostles are hunted.

At least, that's what everyone believes.

When a series of unexplained deaths leaves its victims completely stripped of Aura, a young man with a strange ability to perceive the hidden nature of magic is dragged into an investigation that should have remained buried.

The deeper he goes, the more the world begins to contradict everything he was taught.

The Church is hiding something.

The Dead Apostles may not be the monsters history claims them to be.

The Saints are not as divine as they appear.

And somewhere beyond the reach of ordinary magic, an ancient secret is beginning to awaken.

A secret connected to the origin of Aura itself.

As kingdoms prepare for war and forbidden spells begin resurfacing, he finds himself caught between the Church, the Dead Apostles, and forces neither side understands.

Then he meets her.

A girl whose faith in the Church is stronger than anything he has ever known.

A girl who may one day become a Saint.

A girl he was never supposed to love.

Because some truths are better left buried.

And some spells were forbidden for a reason.

In a world ruled by Saints, silence may be the deadliest spell of all.
