Tower Of Silence Larry Correia Novels & Stories

He just left me standing still under the streetlight with too many questions without any answer. The entire walk back towards the apartment felt so wrong. My heart wouldn't just stop racing—everything, and now Larry's reaction. Most of all… that silence. Larry had truly known something, and I was very sure of it. And whatever that is, I don't think it's a good one.

Lightsticks beamed brightly in the darkness, flooding the space with vibrant hues. "Silence speaks for those who listen." Kyle's magnetic voice came through as he jumped down the swing. The music gradually grew louder. "This song tells the story of a boy who took forever to understand the whispers of his silence, finally losing the girl he loves," he continued. "Hope you'll enjoy it."

"Silas. Light it up." ​The world didn't just break; it exploded. ​A massive, bone-deep roar shook the pavement beneath us as Silas’s team detonated a series of synchronized thermite charges at the tower’s primary transformer bank. A wall of blinding orange flame erupted from the basement levels, followed by the frantic, high-pitched scream of the building’s emergency sirens. Within seconds, the reinforced glass doors of the lobby swarmed with Reapers in full tactical gear, their attention pulled violently downward toward the breach where Silas and his outcasts were waiting to tear them apart.

“We need the archive. If Marsel’s loyalists find it first, everything burns—including us.” Eirwen kept close, eyes flicking to every corner, every reflection. The Tower was haunted. Not just by memories—by the knowledge that every secret hidden here was a weapon, every broken promise another trap. She felt Domenik behind her, his presence a shadow she wanted and resented in equal measure. They moved through the service corridor, bypassing the main elevator. On the walls, the Covenant of Silence was barely visible under layers of grime and ash: Speak nothing. Own everything. Burn what cannot be controlled.

The whole house asleep around me, unaware. I stood at the threshold. Both terrors pressing in from either side. Everything behind me. Everything ahead of me. The weight of each one enormous and real. My foot moved. I stepped out into the corridor and pulled the door shut behind me, palm flat against the wood until it caught without a sound, and then I was already moving. Left. East corridor. My feet carrying me forward before the rest of me had finished deciding. Shoulders pulled in. Every sense reaching ahead into the dark. Listening for any shift in the silence that didn't belong.

Outside, the borderland afternoon was tipping toward evening. Somewhere in a packhouse of stone and cold ambition a man who had looked at silence and called it surrender was about to discover that the quietest people build the loudest cases.

"I'm sorry, but Frank ..." "Lara, would you please leave us alone?" A dangerously calm and deep voice came from behind the girl. Lara didn't have to be told twice. Alissa saw this as her opportunity and stepped into the dim hallway, she couldn't see Frank exactly, she just saw that he was quite tall. But she didn't care at the moment, she was angry because the guy was watching other women even though he was married! No wonder his wife never wanted to come here. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Why are you watching me?"

"I'm sorry, Grace. The forest really isn't safe. I have to find him. I promise I'll come back and finish this with you." I gave him a faint smile, though I could barely breathe through the pain in my chest. He would not come back once he left. That was always how it ended. As he bent down to comfort Laila, I quietly poured the bond-breaking potion into the wine glass. I walked over and held it out to him, my voice soft but firm. "Finish this, and I'll forgive you." Philip smiled and finished it in one gulp. He put the glass down and left with Laila without a second glance.

Warning the Warren and the Castle was the most important thing any of us could do now. We weren’t left alone for long. The tall, blonde vampire who had captured Marcus soon entered the tent, accompanied by another vampire with gleaming crimson eyes and pure silver hair. “Oh, if it isn’t Lord Theo in the flesh,” Ronan announced. “What an honor.” “Shut your mouth, traitor,” the blonde vampire snarled. “Lovely to see you again too, Joachim,” Ronan said to the blonde. “Hush, Joachim,” Lord Theo chided the other vampire, “we want them to speak, remember?”

The entire pack hall fell instantly silent. The doors burst open with a bang, and Nolan stormed in, the full weight of the Silverglade Pack’s leadership trailing nervously behind him. The moment he threw me a heartbeat's glance, Janine, who was still holding the knife aloft, was flung violently across the hall by an invisible force. She smashed through three support pillars and landed embedded deep in the far wall. Despite being Silverglade’s top warrior, Aiden had already collapsed into a trembling heap on the floor. Faelan, who was finally free, leapt up and ran to Nolan, sobbing as he threw himself into his father’s arms.
