Empire Of Silence Book 2 Novels & Stories

His fingers trembled as they reached for the frame, but Julian slammed his hand onto the desk, stopping him. "The Price of the Empire," Julian growled, his voice a low vibration that seemed to rattle the floor-to-ceiling windows. "That’s what your note said, Silas. You didn't just lie to me. You kept her beneath the floor. You built this entire kingdom on the silence of a woman who loved you, and then you used her ghost to keep me in a cage."

He let out a soft, sleepy giggle, his small hands patting Elena’s cheeks. "I’m sorry, Leo," she whispered, her voice breaking. "I’m so sorry the world is like this. But I promise you... I will burn every shadow until there’s nothing left but light for you." She rocked him in the silence, the Chairperson of the Syndicate and the mother of the heir, two halves of a woman who was finally beginning to understand the true cost of her crown. Outside, the sun was high over the city, but the clouds were gathering on the horizon. The "Joint Empire" was formed. The board was purged. And in the shadows of Singapore, a new enemy was waiting for the Empress to arrive.

"Because we're going to give you a reason to keep our secrets. One you'll actually want to keep." Julian's fingers withdrew slowly, and the sound I made embarrassed me down to my bones. But then Silas's hand replaced his son's, and the difference was immediate and devastating — his fingers thicker, longer, pushing into me with a kind of authority that arched my spine clean off the desk before I could think to stop it. "Look at her," Silas murmured, eyes fixed on my face like he was reading every thought I was trying to hide. "Terrified. And also the most responsive thing I've ever touched."

she said. “I did. Tragic.” “Coincidental,” she corrected. Enzo raised an eyebrow. “Are you accusing me of something?” “I’m wondering why you’re so quiet when two families are one bomb away from another war.” “I prefer to let the dust settle before I speak.” “Funny,” she said, standing. “Because silence looks a lot like guilt from where I’m standing.” He smiled, slow and predatory. “Be careful, Emilia. This world chews up queens faster than pawns.”

There was no doubt that the young man in front of him was Arkin Dio Amiel Josiah von Clandestine— the one and only crown prince of the empire. Amir felt a sudden chill followed by a slight pain in his temple. He closed his eyes and grimaced from the pain then he immediately stood up when he heard the icy voice in his head. “Retreat.” He bowed at Dio before he stood up and took a step backward. “Forgive my rudeness, but we will need to continue this conversation next time. Dio’s eyes grew wide when he saw that the attackers pulled scrolls from their pockets and tear them apart. Another teleportation scroll was ripped in front of him and he failed to take even one hostage!

he said as a way of alerting her that he was there. Talking without announcing his presence was one of the things that Emperor Claus regretted right at that moment. Not only did Emery let out a scream but the book she was reading vanished from her hands and went flying towards his direction. The ending? It hit him right in the face. With the book’s spine landing on his forehead and nose, his vision went blurry for a moment, causing him to stagger down. Emery, on the other hand, could hear nothing but the deafening beats of her heart because she was not just caught red-handed but she was caught by the emperor himself.

The Diva disappeared the other instant inside the book and the room fell in dangerous silence again with only the Empress standing in the center, while the strong rays of sunlight were peeking through every open window and hole. She was bewildered, not able to comprehend what just happened! Was this it? Now, she won’t be able to know anything anymore! What would happen to Emerald, and Scarlet! All these thoughts were crossing her head, when she heard the noise. The noise of page flipping. Gazing down at the book kept over the mahogany table, her eyes shone with happiness and hope found its way back to them.

I’m so close to finding out what happens with the main character, it really is killing me. Ava and Ellie throw a movie on while I tuck myself into the corner chair by the window to read. Sophia’s timing is perfect. She buzzes the condo right as I close the book and sigh. Who knew that reading could take you on such an emotional ride? I slide the book onto my shelves, already anxious about getting my hands on the second book by the author. Sophia rushes into the condo, almost out of breath. She must have charged up the stairs rather than taking the elevator.

The empire was still stitched together by silence. Silence could not hold forever.

If I stayed silent, I would become just another broken piece in Draven’s empire. And I had never hated silence more. The desk felt too large for me. The parchment too crisp. The silence too heavy."
