Summary

Paris, 1945. Frederick Rowlands arrives in a city riven by the political turmoil following the Liberation at the behest of MI5 agent, Iris Barnes. A young woman calling herself Clara Metzner has just been released from Ravensbrück concentration camp - and Rowlands, who last met her in Berlin in 1933, has been given the task of confirming whether she is who she says she is. This is far from easy, not only because of Rowlands' blindness, but because Clara's experiences have changed her almost out of recognition. But her evidence may be vital in assisting Iris to track down suspected collaborators in the upper echelons of French society.

Then Clara - or the girl who is claiming to be her - is found dead, in circumstances that point to murder. Thrown into the unfamiliar world of Parisian high society, Rowlands must track down the killer, and prevent further deaths - including his own.

    In the vault of inscribed silences in Runefell, where runologists awaken rune echoes from glyph webs and echo binders bind unspoken rhythms from the veiled pulses, runologist Elara awakens a silent pulse with binder Kai, whose bound echoes pulse with a rhythm of suppressed incantations. Their echo, awakened in glyph vows and silence-kissed inscriptions, pulses truth—or stills it in vaults of absolute hush. As they inscribe through vault-laced carvings and pulse-bound chambers, silenced by rune wardens and echo rivals, Elara's runology craft merges with Kai's binding quiet, revealing an inscribed legend of pulsed silence. When a muted rune summons void murmurs, they must awaken the silence to resonate the vault. In the pulse of rune echoes, where every whisper breaks the quiet and every bind releases the word, their veiled mystery becomes the inscription that speaks the unspeakable.
