In the Forgotten Wastes, sound itself has been imprisoned, and scholar Kael has staked everything on proving that the legendary Library of Echoes is real. But when he finally discovers it, he finds something far more terrifying than stolen whispers and captured melodies—a woman whose voice should not exist, singing songs that unravel reality with every note. She claims she's been waiting centuries for someone to hear her, that her music is both prison and weapon, and that Kael's arrival has set in motion an apocalypse he cannot comprehend. Now he's caught between silencing her forever or listening long enough to understand why her songs are killing him. In a world where sound is power and silence is death, some truths are better left unheard.
