The Sovereign's Silence

About this book

In the modern world, history is a subject studied in classrooms—but in the isolated Spanish valley of Alcázar de los Ciegos, the sixteenth century has never ended. Mateo Vargas, a young university student desperate to escape his family's dark legacy, is violently pulled back to his ancestral estate when his father is ritualistically murdered. Forced to take up the mantle of a reluctant heir, Mateo must navigate an archaic society of noble bloodlines that operates strictly by Renaissance-era laws, vendettas, and brutal rites, entirely hidden from contemporary authorities. As a modern detective circles the perimeter of the estate searching for answers, and his own sister begins to succumb to the intoxicating power of their heritage, Mateo must survive a deadly gauntlet of tradition to dismantle the family from within. A chilling collision of modern morality and ancient savagery, this is a story of blood, duty, and the inescapable gravity of the past.
