Yet silence carries a new danger.In hidden corners, mortals make a choice. They do not summon the Hollow Queen. They do something far worse—they invite the Hollow willingly.Kael senses the Pyre burn cold. Not with fear. Not with war. But with choice.Cities kneel, not to armies or magic, but to belief. The Hollow spreads quietly, irresistibly, shaping a world without fire, without gods, without mercy.Seraya uncovers forbidden runes left by Thiri, revealing a truth that terrifies even her: the Hollow no longer needs rulers. It needs followers.As the Veil thins between worlds, a new order rises—the Veilbreakers. Some seek to preserve reality. Some to destroy it entirely.In this book, flame loses its authority. Power is no longer imposed. It is consented. And Kael must learn a new way: not through battle, not through fire, but through understanding.The age of Flame is ending. Not by war…By choice.
