Book Description
Welcome to a world where monsters walk among mortals, gods pull strings from the shadows and heroes fall to their own obsessions.
Ehrkon, a former militia turned fugitive, seeks vengeance after his family are executed in a brutal purge. Hunted by the regime he once served, he is granted the power of fire by a righteous goddess and drawn into a rebellion alongside unlikely allies.
Ynka was raised for obedience in a bleak northern city and prepared for a life she never chose. When a terrifying transformation reveals a hidden power, she is betrayed and cast into the abyss. Forced to survive, Ynka must uncover the truth of what she has become and reclaim control over her fate.
Tren is a fearless, sharp-tongued thief who thrives in the ruthless slums of Khurmal’s Fifth Sector. He takes on increasingly dangerous jobs that escalate into full-scale rebellion against the ruling elite. Marked by ancient powers and manipulated by those who know more than they reveal, Tren begins to unravel the legacy of a god, created to contain someone far more vicious.
Inferno’s Silence is a dark fantasy of survival, vengeance and uprising, where the line between hero and villain is a matter of perspective.

Why Read Inferno’s Silence?
Inferno’s Silence is a dark fantasy novel set in a dystopian, monster-infested world ruled by militarised religion, where heresy is punishable by death, and dissent smoulders beneath the surface.
Inspired by Eastern European folklore and real-world insurrections, this is a story of rebellion, revenge, and descent into fire. Through multiple points of view across distinct regions, it weaves a single, brutal narrative about rising up against suppression.
You won’t find clean-cut heroes or tidy morals, but you will meet raw, multidimensional characters fighting for what they believe is right. You’ll love them, if only because they destroy villains you’ll hate. Expect nightmare-fuel horror, incisive dark humour, and no hand-holding. Just cinematic, action-packed writing that lingers long after the final page.
