Shadow of the Unspoken Vow
By @Luisa Prozeller
In a realm where spoken words manifest physical magic, Ethan is born a silent pariah. Mute and disregarded, he survives on the scraps of a glittering empire powered by the voices of the elite. Everything changes when he discovers the Unspoken Vow—a forbidden, internal language that allows him to rewrite reality through silent thought alone. But this godlike cheat demands a steep toll: every silent decree erodes his own memories. When the tyrannical Voice Council begins harvesting the souls of silent outcasts to fuel their eternal empire, Ethan must rise to stop them. He faces a devastating dilemma: to dismantle a corrupt civilization, he must repeatedly use his reality-bending power, risking the permanent loss of his own identity and the very memories of why he is fighting. How much of himself can he sacrifice before he becomes the very monster he seeks to destroy?
