In a world where the strength of one’s soul—the Echo—determines their destiny, society is split between the radiant Elite and the "Silent" masses. In the subterranean shadows of Oakhaven’s Great Archive, Elian lives as a cipher, a man with no measurable Echo and no future beyond the dust of forgotten ledgers. His quiet life shatters when he discovers a forbidden tome bound in moon-pale skin.
