The Elderwood Kids

The Unseen Ink

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In a town built on secrets, three friends hold the key to a silence that could shatter everything.

After saving their town from a cosmic threat, Milo, Tess, and Leo finally have peace—until Milo feels a new, heavy sorrow in the air. It’s coming from an old library archive, filled with ledgers that are completely blank, except one. This ancient book holds the Unspoken: the town's hidden shames and broken promises, written in shifting, painful ink that cannot lie.

Their discovery reveals a terrifying truth: Elderwood’s magic depends on a delicate balance between what is said and what is buried. The archive is failing. The Unspoken is starting to leak back into the streets, twisting emotions and straining friendships. The only way to stop the coming storm is to listen to the town's silent pain and give it a voice—using a magical pen and an ink made from remorse, broken vows, and genuine apology.

But as they hunt for the ingredients to make the Ink of Absolution, they uncover a secret far older and deeper than any human regret. The town itself is founded on a slumbering giant, and their attempts to heal the silence may be the very thing that wakes it.

Now, Milo and his friends must become confessors and diplomats, navigating a landscape of emotional landmines. To save their home, they’ll have to mend broken hearts, broker a new peace between ancient powers, and learn that the most powerful magic of all isn't about keeping secrets—it's about speaking the truth.
