Beschreibung
An assassin bent on vengeance, with a list of names written in blood. Is that what they would call him if they knew. Or would they kneel to the name he no longer recognizes. To execute his vengeance against the Obsidian King, Kian must infiltrate the Empire's most elite military academy. "Red Rising meets The Will of the Many, but with a colder, darker edge. Kian is an unforgettable, morally gray protagonist who keeps you gripped from the very first page. ". "When you take a child and grind down every fragile edge, what remains will cut without hesitation. It does not happen out of malice, but because nothing else was left intact. ". Kian was killed for his bloodline when Vorath, the Obsidian King, seized the crown in a sudden, bloody coup. What returned from the physical torment of the Void is not the boy who was buried. Rebuilt by an eternity of silence, he enters the Pillars of Aeterna military academy carrying a stolen identity, a relentless death wish, and a list of names written in blood. At the academy, worth is measured by command over aether: a structured magic system with unseen consequences that acts as the backbone of civilization. Kian is cursed with a complete block, unable to channel this vital power. Yet he possesses other skills: lethal capabilities forced upon him by those nameless beings in the Void over the course of years, born of a cruel enjoyment rather than education. They made him into what he is today, something the world has only ever known once before. He moves forward under a mask of false confidence, lying to himself even as he struggles to face the reality of his true purpose. As a regional rebellion in the merchant city of Myridon exposes the rot at the Empire's core, Kian's dark quest for vengeance is complicated by those he cannot afford to let near. To Rima, a gifted healer, he is more than the monster he pretends to be. To Elara, a shadow from his forgotten past, he is a stranger who feels unsettlingly familiar. To Quintus, the only one who knows who he really is, there is pain in seeing what Kian has become. And somewhere in the dark, the ancient, apocalyptic threat of the Dirge is waking. It is a hidden truth the complacent Empire refuses to see. Silence is a weapon. Until it becomes your cage. The Price of Silence is the gripping first installment of a Grimdark, Adult Epic Fantasy series featuring a morally gray antihero, a high-stakes military academy, a hard magic system, deep political intrigue, psychological depth, and a slow-burn revenge arc. Perfect for fans of The Will of the Many. , Red Rising. , and The.
