Requiem of Silence

Silence spreads through the city, one street at a time. I may be the only one who hears what it’s taking.

Leo has done what no student has managed in generations: earned a place in the School of Fabrication without the lineage to claim it. Three schools. Three crafts. And hidden within them all, one lesson — the difference between power that is taken and power that is given.

When a legendary master luthier arrives at the Academy, Leo begins the build that will define him: an instrument that is truly his own. He’ll need it. Somewhere beneath the Academy, Quell’s servants are building something too.

The bell tower has gone flat. The library carries a crack only Leo can hear. And somewhere in the city, a stolen mandolin plays a song meant only for him.

The Guild demands its second test. The auras demand a choice. And Quell demands a way through the gates.

Leo must decide what kind of luthier he will become — before what waits on the other side decides for him.

The Wayward Chronicles continues this epic journey as Leo searches for his place in the world. He’s destined to become more than Wayward. He’s destined to become a part of the Song itself.
