The Quiet Art

Some voices sound wrong.

He was five years old the first time he heard it — the hollow in his mother's voice, the space between a word and the truth beneath it. Cael does not yet understand lies, or grief, or the strange inheritance waking inside him. He knows only that some voices sound wrong, and that he cannot stop hearing the difference.

That gift carries him from a riverside inn to Greyhold, the school where listening is sharpened into a discipline and a weapon. The more clearly Cael hears, the more he learns that to notice what others miss is to become answerable for it.

Perception is not innocence. And some things, once heard, cannot be unheard.
