The Merchant of Silence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789843589187)

The World is Alive. And It Wants You Dead.

From the ancient, cobbled stones of Prague to the neon-soaked streets of Kuala Lumpur and the salt-etched, vivid shores of Phuket, the world doesn't just sit still-it breathes. It watches. It is a place so real, so intoxicating, that travelers follow its ghosts long after the story ends. But behind the romance of Penang Hill and the glass spires of the West, a cold machinery is turning.

Jovan moves with the precision of a god. A master of the surgical strike, he has landed in Eastern Europe with one objective: Rasheed. A high-level weapon smuggler with hands too stained for forgiveness. And now they are both hunting the same shadow: Marisha. She is a woman who crossed three borders searching for her lost love, only to find herself stepping straight into a war between power blocs.

While empires clash in the light, Antasia fights a different war in the dark. Once a woman who survived the brutal circuits of the underworld, her strength finally split open when she saw the cost of hope. Now, haunted by the myth and the memory of a friend zipped into a black bag, she is playing a rigged game for the ultimate prize: Freedom.

Behind the glass towers and the slaughter rooms, The Merchant plays for the highest stakes on earth. But even he is being watched by the presence that does not scream. Forces that see all and stay quiet, orchestrating a world where every player is a target and every victim is silenced. They want them all to bleed. They want them all to fail.

Because in this world, silence isn't just a lack of noise. It's an invention. And it knows your name.
