The Silence

Broken Aegis

By: David Adams

Narrated by: Tony Deurmier

The Silence-Broken Aegis
When ancient evil wears the face of heaven, who can you trust to save your soul?
Four knights survive a blood-soaked battlefield only to find themselves trapped in an abandoned tower with something far worse than death.

A band of battle-scarred crusaders, haunted by loss and fractured faith, take shelter in a storm-lashed tower, with a creature they captured on the battlefield. Behind barred doors lurks a presence that whispers like scripture yet reeks of damnation.

What begins as refuge becomes a descent into supernatural terror. The thing in the cage knows their sins, their losses, their doubts. It speaks in blasphemous tongues, twisting holy words into unholy promises, feeding on their fear and faith alike. Ancient rituals and prophetic visions reveal a truth more terrifying than any battlefield: they are not guarding a prisoner, but trapped with something that hungers for more than flesh.

As the storm rages and sanity frays, the knights must confront not only this otherworldly horror but the demons within themselves. In this struggle between salvation and damnation, steel will fail. Faith will shatter. And the price of survival may be their very souls.

The Silence-Broken Aegis weaves psychological terror with theological dread, creating an atmosphere so oppressive you'll feel the tower's walls closing in with every page.

When heaven falls silent and hell speaks in riddles, the only truth left is survival but… at what cost to your soul?

WARNING: This novel contains intense psychological horror, religious themes, graphic violence, and existential dread. Not recommended for readers under 18 or those sensitive to theological horror.

Begin your descent into unholy darkness. But remember once you enter the tower, there's no promise you'll leave unchanged.

Confronted by mystery wrapped in shroud, what can be trusted?

I usually write a sentence or two summary, but the author's own book description is more perfect than I could hope to craft. Set in a grim keep, a handful of devoted knights must determine what to do with the entity they have captured. It speaks to them, but does it tell truth, lies, or something else. A tense exchange between faith and unknown. Will faith have the strength to overcome its opponent, or will its power wane? The story contains thought-provoking dialogue and situations with dire consequences. Narrated with ease by Tony Deurmier, who gives each character their own distinctive voice.
