Of Stormlarks And Silence Summary Novels & Stories

Chapter 27: The Price of Power The silence that followed the wolves’ departure hung heavy in the air. It wasn’t the peaceful quiet of a post-conflict lull, but a tense pause before the storm. The weight of their words clung to me like a thick fog, clouding my thoughts and drowning out the clarity I had once felt. I turned away from the path where the wolves had vanished into the trees, my heart still racing. The image of their glowing eyes, the authority in their voices, and the promises they’d made—all of it swirled in my mind like a storm that I couldn’t control.

The hammers slowed to a steady, rhythmic thrum—the heartbeat of a mountain that had just won its first breath of freedom. ​The Surgeon lay still on the floor, its parchment-like skin blackened by the intensity of our noise. It looked up at me with a newfound, terrifying respect. ​"You... have... become the... Storm," it whispered. "The Silence... will... avoid... this... frequency. For now." ​Killian stood at the edge of the ward, his spear tip resting on the ground.

Here is a sneak peak of the book.. Chapter One September 17, 2007 “Am I speaking to a mister Owen Matthews?” “Um, yeah, that would be me.. Can I help you?” He does not recognize the female voice on the other end of the line but he has to admit, it is a beautiful voice. He would know how to spot a lovely voice, considering her heard random voices all day long.

At the DeLuca Family banquet announcing its new advisor, Matteo said he was going to end nine years of secrecy and finally acknowledge our relationship in public. I stood in the back row of the banquet hall, so nervous I'd crumpled my prepared speech into a ball. Over nine years, I'd cleaned up the port books for him three times, negotiated two cross-border shipping routes, and taken a bullet for him. Everyone knew the DeLuca Family had a female advisor who never showed her face, but no one knew I was that woman. I thought that after tonight, I would finally stop being his shadow. Until the screen at the front of the banquet hall lit up. There was no photo of us. Instead, there was only a si

"Listeners, we came here to find a voice, but I think we found a mirror. Tobi isn't silent because he has nothing to say. He’s silent because he’s waiting for us to stop shouting long enough to hear the world breathing." The neighborhood stayed hushed. The "radio man" hadn't conquered the "Silent Artist." Instead, the silence had expanded to include everyone in the courtyard. Tobi felt the blockage in his throat ease. He hadn't used the words they wanted, but he had used the truth they needed. He looked at Grandpa, who nodded once a slow, majestic movement. The knife had cut through; the bone was finally visible.

The silence between them felt like an unspoken chasm, and Storm questioned whether they would ever bridge the divide.

As she slept, the image of the red-eyed beast and the ominous dream flickered in her mind once more, haunting her even in her slumber. Little did Storm know that while she slept, a pair of red eyes watched her every move, their owner hidden in the shadows, waiting patiently. The dark forces that had set their sights on Storm were growing bolder, inching closer with each passing moment.

I stutter as I reach the front desk panting, "Okay give me a minute," the guy at the front desk says picking up the phone. He talks through the phone letting him know that we are waiting. Sheriff Issac strides over to us before saying, "What's wrong?" "We think we have found the Silent Man," I say as Sheriff Issac makes a funny face, "Look kids, this is a workplace. No jokes here," he says turning around and walking away, "Let's go and we will show you. I am not lying Mr. Issac," Sally says behind me stopping him,

The Weaver of Sorrows stepped back, her glass form cracking under the pressure of the dark energy. ​“It is too much,” she groaned. “The cathedral cannot hold against the weight of the Star’s hunger. The Loom will be choked before the first stitch is finished.” ​“No,” I said, though I had no voice. My intent rippled through the air, a command of pure shadow. “I am the Silence. And the silence is where the noise goes to die.”

"If I were her, I'd probably pretend to be mute and stay silent for years too. That voice is enough to make anyone want to gouge their own ears out!" My desk was kicked over, sending all the books scattering across the floor. Alice yanked my hair hard, then she raised her hand and slapped me across the face. "I'm talking to you, Summer! Your mute act is over, and now you're deaf? Can't hear anyone, right?" I shoved her with all my strength. "Let go of me!"

I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t want to stay either. My feet moved on their own, following him out of the penthouse, into the sleek black car waiting below. The driver didn’t ask questions. Nobody ever did. The ride was silent, suffocating. I stared out the window, watching the city blur past, the neon lights streaking like blood against the darkness. My hands were cold, clammy. I clasped them tightly in my lap, trying to keep them from shaking. “You don’t have to do this,” I whispered, though my voice lacked conviction.
