The Choir of the Voiceless: Songs Beneath the Sand Book 1

“When silence stole their voices, only one child remained to sing against the gods of sand.”

When the sun rose over the desert village of Nqoma, it stole more than shadows.

It stole their voices.

The elders opened their mouths, but no sound came. Children tried to laugh, but silence spilled out instead. Yet even as their throats failed, a phantom choir erupted — a haunting harmony that poured through their bones, filling the air with songs they had never learned.

Only one child, a girl named Lira, remained with her voice intact. Chosen or cursed, she becomes the unwilling leader of the voiceless, guiding them across a desert where forgotten gods lie buried beneath the dunes. Each step awakens whispers of power older than time, and each hymn of the phantom choir brings them closer to ruin — or salvation.

But the gods do not sleep peacefully. And the desert does not welcome trespassers.

In a journey woven from myth, horror, and hope, The Choir of the Voiceless asks: what happens when silence itself becomes a weapon, and when the last fragile voice must decide the fate of a people who can no longer speak for themselves?
