Ryker's Adventures at Oak Haven: Ryker and the Shadow Score

By Amanda Montondo

HE BROKE THE SILENCE. NOW, THE WORLD MUST LISTEN.

Twelve-year-old Ryker Vance has a curse disguised as a gift: he is an Emotional Anchor. Every time he feels too much-or when the world gets too loud-he instinctively generates a devastating bubble of silence that nullifies all emotion and magic. It keeps him isolated, turning his life into a lonely, boring shade of gray.

But when a mysterious, shimmering letter arrives, Ryker is whisked away to Oakhaven Academy, a secret school where music is magic and every student is a Resonator, skilled at creating sound. Ryker, the ultimate mute button, is instantly branded a "Null" and an enemy.

His powerful, destructive ability is exactly what the corrupt faculty, known as the Composers, wants. They need Ryker to become the Final Censor-a weapon used to permanently silence the world's hidden truths: the volatile, chaotic memories known only as the Shadow Score.

Caught between the rigid control of Professor Corvo and a defiant band of classmates (including a brilliant, skeptical violinist and a drum-loving earth mage), Ryker must infiltrate the forbidden Central Tower. He has to learn to control the silence he hates and face the terrifying, sentient force of the Shadow Score.

If Ryker fails, he will erase the world's most vital memories. But if he succeeds, he risks shattering the only magic holding reality together-and losing the chance to discover the truth behind his own mother's silent, broken mind.

In a world where music is law, Ryker must embrace his dissonance to find his voice.
