The Silence Rising Book I of The Chronicles of Varros The northern winds carry more than frost—they carry silence. In the icy wilderness of the Frostmarch, ranger Caelen Draven senses a chilling threat creeping south. Villages vanish overnight, forests whisper with unseen danger, and even the rivers seem to freeze in warning. In the heart of Thalenor, noble Seliora Veyne hides a forbidden flame within herself, navigating a treacherous court where allies are few and betrayal is always a step away. Far to the south, seer Varrek Malthis sees fire flickering and dying, visions of a Convergence that could engulf the world. And in secret towers, the exiled Arcanist Eryndor Kael experiments with runes too powerful to control. From the frozen north rises the Hollow Crown, an ancient and silent force commanding the Koryth—undying beings of ice and death. Its march is quiet, but unstoppable, and the fate of Varros may depend on the courage, cunning, and fire of a few unlikely heroes. The Silence Rising is an epic fantasy of frost, fire, and destiny — where prophecy and peril collide, and the first sparks of the Convergence ignite a world on the brink of endless silence.
