DUBLIN, IRELAND – Wild Door Publishing is proud to offer the debut work of Emery Blaine, Where the Silence Sings, scheduled for June 2024 publication.
Where the Silence Sings is the gripping first instalment of The Symphonic Masquerade series, a character-driven tale about identity, perseverance, and discovery among a future fantasy backdrop. Drawing upon themes of grief and found family, this upcoming release is sure to resonate with fans of adventurous and genre-bending tales that explore dark realities and the illuminating sparks which cast a guiding light through them.
“There are numerous impactful moments that lead to the conception we have of who we are and what we mean in relation to the world around us. I wanted to explore that idea through a more fantastical lens, where certain themes could manifest as tangibly as they could metaphorically. In this story, we follow a cast of flawed characters who might fancy themselves one thing, but find out through circumstance that they are perhaps not what they and others have painted them to be. This is a tale of discovery, personal and external, and everything that comes along with that.” – Author Emery Blaine
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie. When a realms-wide broadcast interrupts Aeyun and his crew’s latest heist with news of the brutal toppling of Raenaru’s most powerful regents, he must make a choice: continue to forge a path towards his own truth, or – together with his misfit allies – discover what happened to Raeyu Thasian, beloved heir to a dynasty and childhood friend to whom his life is tethered. Among the fallout, one thing is clear: Aeyun’s choices will always come back to haunt him.
In self-imposed exile, Aeyun has taken up the life of an ore smuggler. In exchange for his smithing talents, a small crew of principled thieves have welcomed him into the fold, assisting his search for elusive ore that only he seems able to touch.
The rebellious second sibling of the Thasian legate, Seraeyu Thasian, has wrangled power beyond his imagination. Power, however, is seldom given freely.
A mercenary’s life is never easy, especially when unwelcomed interlopers remain the only connection held with darling Raeyu Thasian. But Sakaeri would be damned if she didn’t help the only family she never needed.
