The Age of Silence

In the isolated town of Orival, women are born without voices.
They live, marry, and die in complete silence until they reach the age of twenty-five, when they are finally permitted to speak.
The Council of Light calls it the "natural order."
But the truth is far more dangerous.

Seventeen-year-old Laila Ashtor has never believed in the Council's laws.
She writes forbidden words in a secret notebook, dreaming of the day she can finally speak them aloud.
Then, on a stormy night, she does, and her single word shatters everything.

Her punishment is swift: her existence is erased from all records, her name wiped from history.
But something has already awakened.
Women throughout Orival begin to dream of her voice, hearing its echo in their sleep.
And the more they dream, the more the world itself begins to tremble, walls shaking, windows shattering, and the silence breaking.

As Laila discovers a hidden network of women called the Silencers, she learns the truth behind the centuries-old ban:
Long ago, women's voices were capable of shaping reality itself.
The Council silenced them not to maintain order, but to steal their power.

Now, hunted by those who fear her and followed by those who believe in her, Laila must choose between survival and rebellion.
Because her voice is no longer hers alone,
It is the world remembering what it once was.
