In a world where silence sings and memory is magic, a mute boy must embrace his destiny or watch reality unravel.
Lian has never spoken a word. In the sun-scorched village of Pedra Branca, his muteness is not a void but a sacred vessel, attuned to the whispers of the earth, the song of the stars, and the consciousness of the crows that watch from the shadows. Inheriting a necklace of feathers and bone from his dying grandmother, he is thrust into the Trail-a hidden, metaphysical dimension where forgotten pain takes form.
Guided by the ancestral spirits of the sert o, Lian discovers his purpose: to seal the Knots of collective trauma before they birth the Forgotten, soul-devouring entities that feed on denial. But he cannot walk this path alone. His fated partner is Maya, a blind girl whose gift is to smell the truth in sorrow and hear the melody in suffering. Together, they must develop a language beyond words to navigate a world that is physically and spiritually unraveling.
When a fanatical cult of forgetting, The New Light, rises to burn away memory, and a cosmic fissure threatens to erase existence itself, Lian faces an impossible choice. To heal the world, he must sacrifice the very memories that make him human.
The Raven's Path: The Echo of Bones is the first book in a spellbinding fantasy saga. Blending the lyrical magic of authors like Marlon James and the spiritual depth of Paulo Coelho with a unique Brazilian-inspired setting, this is a story of silence, sacrifice, and the indelible power of remembrance.
