In the wake of the Great Union, the four realms of Etherea—the Highspire, the Jade Root, the Shadelands, and the Iron Frontier—have finally found a fragile peace under the reign of the Noble Ogre, Kaelen, and his Fae Queen, Persephone. But while the surface world celebrates, a primal drumbeat echoes from the Southern Wilds, calling to those who carry the "Mercury-Blood" of the Vail dynasty. The Broken Silence follows Prince Tykzan, the twin brother of Queen Persephone and a legendary warrior of the Border-Guard. Feeling out of place in the gilded halls of a peaceful Spire, Tykzan is haunted by a rhythmic thrumming in his soul—a "Fated Pull" that leads him away from his family and into the emerald depths of the Southern Shifter Jungles. There, amidst bioluminescent flora and predatory ancient magics, Tykzan encounters Khazilli, a Black Panther/Elvin hybrid shifter of the Black Moon Clan. She is the "Silence" he was born to break—a fierce, mahogany-skinned huntress who views the world through the lens of survival and blood. Their meeting ignites a Fated Bond that threatens to upend the delicate political balance of the unified realms. To claim Khazilli as his mate, Tykzan must shed his regal upbringing and survive the Trial of the Leopard King, a brutal gauntlet of strength and spirit within the Ziggurat of Souls. As a new cosmic threat—the Aether-Void—begins to leak from the Shattered Moon, Tykzan and Khazilli realize their union is more than a romance; it is the final pillar needed to support the Bridge. If they fail to unite the "Mercury" of the Fae with the "Pulse" of the Jungle, the silence of the Void will return to consume Etherea once and for all.

In the vertical kingdom of Persephone Falls, survival is a matter of altitude.

For twenty-one years, Zephora Child has lived as a ghost in the canopy. A half-vampire hybrid in a world that prizes elven purity, she is the invisible backbone of her family-the one who works the vines, harvests the mid-levels, and protects her siblings from the shadows, all while being ignored by the parents who view her as a stain on their lineage. Zephora's carefully constructed world of silence shatters when her seven-year-old sister is snatched by the ruthless collectors of a human lord. Taken down into the Low-Lands just as the Amber Tide rises, the child is as good as dead. Desperate and out of options, Zephora does the unthinkable: she approaches the High Bench of Dominic Vale.
