Introduction: SILENCE is a story from the world of the Confluence, a magical utopia with a dark conspiracy at its heart. As the Confluence finds itself under attack from unknown assailants, we follow three protagonists - the High Magus, an investigator and a renegade mage - on a journey of discovery of their world and of themselves.SILENCE has the feeling-tone of a cyberpunk novel but substitutes hard magic for science and proceeds to delve deeply into its magic system. Mature subjects throughout.I wrote this as the kind of thing I would like to read myself. I'm not your average person, so I don't think it's for everybody. But maybe some people will like it.Additional tags: #entheogenic fantasy, #magic theory, #hard magic, #utopia, #dark conspiracy, #mind-reading, #social science, #philosophy, #architecture, #art, #love story, #spirituality, #enlightenment, #mature...
