Caleb was nothing but a forgotten janitor—until he unleashed a forbidden power that could shatter the rules of a world ruled by living words. When Lillian, the estate’s silenced heir, faces being sold to a monster, Caleb’s defiance sparks a revolution that threatens the powerful and gives hope to the voiceless. But as his secret spreads, enemies gather, and one wrong word could cost him everything—including Lillian’s trust.
One minute I’m nobody—just a janitor, barely scraping by. The next, I’m thrown into a deadly war where words can kill, and only the sacred language—my native English—can save us. Silver Hollow’s last hope rests on me, the ultimate outsider, and if I fail, everyone I care about will be wiped out forever.
