Silent Crucible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798259185036)

Nakarin Osneon has never had magic. Born inside a barrier village - one of hundreds of silent enclaves scattered across the world - he has lived his entire life in the absence of it. That absence, he will discover, was never a limitation. It was a design.

When hunters breach the edge of his village and a wandering healer pulls him back from the edge of death, Nakarin walks out of the silence carrying something no living person has seen in a thousand years. Something the most dangerous man in the world has been hunting his entire life.

Something that was never meant to be found. Only forged.

Silent Crucible is the story of the last Echoborn - a people history forgot, a power the world mistranslated, and a young man from a village nobody has heard of who has to figure out what he is before someone else decides for him.
