The Hush of the World: The Aetherium Saga 1
ByPublisher Description
When the world goes quiet, something has gone terribly wrong.
In the farming village of Briar Hollow, Kaelen hears the Aether scream - just moments before the sky tears open. What the Empire calls a lightning anomaly is anything but. Creatures slip through the rupture, reality fractures, and Kaelen's quiet life is erased in an instant.
Branded a threat by Imperial authorities, Kaelen is forced into flight alongside Lyra, a disgraced Imperial soldier, and Elara, an exiled Conclave scholar carrying dangerous truths. As engineered storms, spreading silence, and crystallizing Blight scar the land, the trio uncover signs of something far worse: the Aether itself is being pulled apart by design.
Hunted by the Empire, stalked by a cult that worships silence, and pursued toward the frozen north, they race for answers hidden in Old Magic shrines and forgotten truths - before the world is hushed forever.
The Hush of the World opens The Aetherium Saga, an epic fantasy of survival, suppressed truth, and a world unraveling under unseen hands.
