The world survived the fire.
Now it must live with the silence.
After the Trial of the Rising Flame, the Council declares reform-and seals the truth behind jurisdiction and memory. The Dual Flame is contained. The city stabilizes. History is rewritten.
But on the ground, balance has consequences.
As war approaches Velmara, a captain exiled to the lowest district refuses to forget the names the Council erased. A child who shouldn't exist begins to glitch through reality. And somewhere beyond the reach of time, an error watches the timeline strain.
Sovereign Silence is a dark fantasy about power that remembers, authority that lies, and the cost of protecting people when the world would rather look away.
