The Key of Silence

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

All it takes is one key to unlock a universe of danger.

Alex Dross’s life in the quiet town of Blissfield, Michigan, is a map of unfulfilled dreams, filled with his eccentric grandfather’s journals of impossible worlds. But when a violent storm washes a strange, dark key onto his doorstep, those worlds explode into terrifying reality.

The key is a relic of a secret war, and it thrusts Alex into a breathless adventure across breathtaking realms—through jungles of glowing violet trees, sky-high cities of shattered song, and deserts that poison the mind. Hunted by the Wardens, silent horrors that consume sound and memory, Alex is joined by Kaeli, a fierce warrior, and Slag, a wolf of living stone. Together, they race to piece together an ancient Compass that is the only hope of stopping the Silent King, an ancient being who seeks to end all of existence with a single, final note of silence.

But as Alex uncovers the truth about his grandfather’s past and the power in his own blood, he learns that the greatest mystery isn't just about saving the universe…

…it’s about the price of the song.

For fans of Brandon Sanderson's epic world-building and the breakneck adventure of Rick Riordan, this is the first book in a series that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
