Book 1: The Whispering Blight
In the isolated valley of Silver Vale, the Blight is a death sentence. Only Kaelen, a reluctant bone-setter, can cure it using a rare power called Sympathy, transferring wounds into his own body and leaving his hands pale as ash. His gift makes him an outcast, until a serene stranger arrives offering a terrible bargain: permanent safety from the Blight in exchange for all feeling-both sorrow and joy.
Forced to publicly defy the Weaver of Silence to save his home's soul, Kaelen is marked for more than just his power. With the enigmatic and wounded traveler Garret as his guide, he must leave his valley and venture into a world breaking under the weight of its own pain, to find the source of the corruption and discover if true healing lies in sharing the burden, rather than silencing it.
