Labios rotos
By @Karim Ruiz
In the fractured, crystalline world of Jsjsj, words possess physical weight, and a single broken promise can shatter a person's soul. Kari, a silent wanderer with scarred, silent lips, possesses the dangerous Kskskskskak - the volatile power to manifest physical weapons from the echoes of broken oaths. Haunted by the night her silence cost her family their lives, Kari survives on the harsh fringes of Jolaaa, a sprawling, neon-drenched desert metropolis governed by the tyrannical Word-Smiths. When an ancient, forbidden vow begins huming within her blood, Kari is thrust into a deadly race to uncover the truth of the world's creation. To survive, she must ally with the very rebels she distrusts and learn to wield her devastating power. But as the Word-Smiths hunt her down, Kari must choose between the safety of her quiet isolation and the agonizing pain of speaking her truth to save a dying world.

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?
