The Touch of Shattered Silver: A Dark Epic Fantasy Mirrors, Rebellion, and Stolen Lives

Every oath in the kingdom is bound in glass. Every truth has a price. And some debts can never be unmade.For nine years, Senna has survived in the shadows of the palace, using her rare ability to read the resonance trapped in oath-glass. Working for an underground network of the Unworn, her survival rests on a single rule: never let anyone become load-bearing. But when the Crown moves up the timeline for the Hollow Rite-a devastating harvest that will destroy the only family she has left-she is forced deeper into the palace's corrupt machinery than ever before.Corin was once a decorated captain in the Wardens, until a choice made at nineteen stripped his rank and left him walking empty corridors as a demoted guard. When he catches Senna infiltrating a restricted gallery, he should raise the alarm. Instead, he sees a woman whose stillness mirrors his own damaged past and lets her go.Assigned to shadow Senna around the clock, Corin becomes an entangled variable she cannot route around. As a Commander sets a silent, tightening trap across the fortress, an accidental resonance between them reveals a buried truth: their lives were intertwined long before they ever met in the dark.With the Hollow Rite weeks away, breaking the system demands the one thing neither trained to give-refusing to run, refusing to sacrifice alone, and choosing each other in the open.
