What happens when a quirky Tanuki frees a rage-cursed Minotaur from his ancient prison?

 

Not what you’d expect.

Ben, the Minotaur, has been trapped for centuries—cursed to guard the Labyrinth at Knossos and kill all who seek its goddess-touched waters. But beneath the fury is a gentle soul who craves companionship far more than violence.

Fuku, the Tanuki, has his own motives. He wants a powerful protector to help him uncover the relics that could open the path back home. Of course, having a studly Minotaur for a bodyguard doesn’t hurt either.

Together they must survive a world reshaped by time and myth—facing monsters, magic, and emotions neither of them planned for. Because sometimes the hardest quest isn’t the one through the dungeon… it’s learning to trust the person beside you.

Whispers of the Silent Age is the beginning of The Path of Whispers Series—a cozy, emotional, funny, sweet, and occasionally chaotic fantasy about found family, healing, and love in the most unlikely of places.
