Australia has amnesia.
A ten year war was swept under a blanket of silence, seemingly by a song. Everybody remembers the attack on Sydney that started it all, the camps children were kept in, the underground bunkers, but other than that, it's humming.
Unless you didn't hear it. Like the self-declared Prophet with dead hearing aids, stuck trying to piece together what happened, until those responsible come to erase their memories too.
To keep their memories, the Prophet makes a deal with a passive-aggressive magical being: access to her divine ability to see all that has been and could-have-been in exchange for writing the truth behind the war.
What the Prophet finds leads them to a nightmarishly stupid conspiracy theory: there have always been magical beings among us, and they forced humanity to forget them upon each discovery. What's more, their actions were dictated by something divine. At the centre of it all seems to be a non-binary magical princess called Torao Yamaguchi and the messianic cult his mother erects around him.
But the truth is complicated, and the Prophet wants to create an absolute history. So they set out to find how this silence was enforced by investigating the princess.
Silent is an urban fantasy about finding ways to speak. It is the first book in the Silent Trilogy.
