In a fractured future where silence is enforced as peace, a soldier walks away from obedience.
When the Silence Breaks is a 15,700-word speculative fiction novelette set in a world ruled by the Unified Force of Enlightenment and its spiritual arm, the Ember Veil.

Elijah, a former Peacekeeper, deserts his post after a string of morally questionable missions.
On the run—and guided by an unusually intuitive AI—he meets Marya, a priestess who dares to speak forbidden truths. Together, they begin to unravel:

  • Buried memories
  • Lost voices
  • The hidden cost of enforced silence
  • Above them, aboard the orbital command ship Dusken Mercy, Commander Sumina listens.
    Tasked with tracking both anomalies, she watches patterns forming beneath the official silence.
    She doesn't act. Not yet. But she doesn't report everything either.
