In the sprawling city of Ophidia, where magic is outlawed and corruption rules, Arthur Fey falls from privilege into the shadows. Once a rebellious aristocrat, Arthur is cast out of high society and forced into the city’s criminal underworld. There, he becomes an enforcer for a powerful elfblood crime boss, navigating riots, cursed artifacts, and supernatural threats that blur the line between survival and rebellion. Haunted by guilt, addiction, and broken friendships, Arthur struggles to hold on to hope while confronting betrayal, loss, and a silence from the gods that offers no answers. Yet even in Ophidia’s darkest alleys, sparks of redemption remain—in loyalty, defiance, and the fight to reclaim meaning in a world abandoned by higher powers.

Blending noir grit with fantasy magic and social commentary, A God’s Silence is a tragic, atmospheric debut for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Witcher, and Perdido Street Station.
