"God is silent. The abyss is not." In the Empire of the Silent God, power is a divine gift passed through blood, but divinity comes at a cost. Damian has no past. Four years ago, he awoke in a cult’s burning forest, with knowledge of Earth, but none of his past. Now, at sixteen, he''''s forced into a noble ceremony that was never meant for someone like him. When his Awakening reveals a forbidden power - eyes that gaze into the abyss - he''''s thrust into a world of political games, religious fanaticism, and ancient secrets better left forgotten. As the world spirals into war and madness, Damian must survive assassins, heretics, the Inquisition, and worse - the truth about who he really is, and where he comes from. Torn between fate and freedom, haunted by a girl trapped in a dream, and hunted by a world that fears what he might become... Can Damian survive what lies ahead - or will the abyss claim him first? This is my first proper novel, so please excuse my lack of skill of writing - if there is any. I truly believe I have an exciting story in mind, that can intrigue you. But as I''''m a new writer, my execution my lag behind my Ideas, so please don''''t hesitate to offer me feedback.
