In a remote mountain town where sound goes to die, Zara Lyane lives as a ghost. Cursed with a voice that can steal memories and shatter souls, she is permanently silenced by a brutal, enchanted collar—a constant reminder of the tragic accident that destroyed her family and made her an outcast in her own home.

Kai Talon, a mercenary haunted by his own past, is hired for a simple job: kidnap the infamous asset and deliver her to the paranoid king. He expects a monster, a weapon to be contained. Instead, he finds a terrified young woman, whose silent suffering and haunting eyes contradict everything he's been told.

Now, bound together on a dangerous journey through a kingdom where whispers of a powerful "witch" are spreading, hunter and hunted must rely on each other to survive. But as Kai uncovers the truth behind Zara's power and the cruel device that contains it, his mission shifts from delivery to protection. To save her, he must defy a king—and learn that the most dangerous weapon of all is the one he never meant to wield: his heart.
