About From the Silence of the Shadows (Veridian Empire)

Not all prisons are made of stone. For nineteen years, Nox Duma has been a pawn to the Veridian Empire's most ruthless tyrant, a man who tortures his own kind with cruel magical experiments. Haunted by the sister still trapped under this tyrant's control, Nox struggles to lead a secret rebellion—until a captured traitor falls into his hands, one who may hold the key to victory. Once a spy and now Nox's prisoner, all Devora wants is freedom. But when she discovers her dormant shadow-wielding magic could provide the perfect opportunity to spy on the enemy, she's forced to decide where her loyalty truly lies. As the rebellion makes its final stand, Nox and Devora's uneasy alliance deepens into something neither expected. To survive, they must test the limits of trust, power, and love against a foe who can bend magic to his will. But in a world where failure means more than death, can they survive the darkness threatening to consume their empire? Or will the shadows finally cage them once and for all? Contains mature themes.
