All the Sounds of Archon: Book 1 Ophelia
by Gregory M. Townsend
The kingdom of Sylpharia has never fallen. For centuries, its royal bloodline has carried the Creshno — a supernatural gift of devastating power passed from parent to child without exception. Across the known realm, ten kingdoms and three regions share one unbroken truth: where supernatural power exists, it belongs to royal blood. Always. Only. Every gift, in every bloodline, in every corner of the realm, has been documented. Every single one — except hers. Ophelia has no bloodline. No family. No name beyond the one she was given. What she has is a power that should not exist — one that lets her see through the eyes of others, read what they carry, know what they believe is hidden. In a world built on the certainty that gifts belong only to royal blood, she is the fracture in the foundation. And deep beneath the histories and the prophecies and the architecture of the realm — something ancient is waiting to be answered. Enter the world of the All Sounds of Archon series — Book One of a sweeping new saga.
