By Darkness Hid

Set in a land ravaged by darkness, this story follows two young individuals grappling with the powerful and often dangerous gift of bloodvoicing—an extraordinary or burdensome ability to communicate through voices in their minds. Achan, a lifelong slave, seeks training as a Kingsguard knight, while Vrell, masquerading as a boy to evade danger, feels compelled to aid others with bloodvoicing, even as they both face threats from those who wish to exploit their powers. Their journeys uncover hidden truths and mysterious voices calling them toward an uncertain destiny concealed by darkness.
