We Awoke by the Water
Before the histories were written, before the Elves marched West beneath the stars, she woke by a silent lake and opened her eyes to a world not yet named.
Waters Firstlight is the story of a beginning-of the first breath, the first gathering, the first fire that burned without smoke. It is a tale told in the voice of one who remembers what the others forgot: that not all chose to follow the summons. Some remained.
In the hush of the grove, where silence was still a presence and not a lack, a young elf woman finds herself drawn to the stillness others would abandon. She watches as messengers arrive. She watches as friends depart. And she watches as a division older than sorrow begins to take root among her people.
While others dream of far-off lands and the call of the gods, she feels something else stirring-a knowing beneath the moss, a fire that does not ask, and a silence that sees.
This is not a story of war. It is not a tale of thrones or conquest. It is the quiet, radiant account of the moment before the world turned-and of the one who chose to stay behind.
Perfect for readers of Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Le Guin's Earthsea, or fans of poetic, slow-burning fantasy, Waters Firstlight is the mythic beginning of The Silenceborne, a series told in memory, shadow, and the echo of what was never sung.
