Hunter of Dissonance
(2026)(The first book in the Dissonance Chronicles series)
A novel by D K Holmberg
When the night goes silent, the killers are already too close.
Silas Karsson was trained to be a ghost—an assassin of the Guild whose chording magic turns sound into a weapon. With a ukelin in his hand and dissonance in his veins, he can track danger in the dark better than any blade can carve it.
But when a supposedly simple assignment reveals a rogue assassin working with forbidden resonance, Silas uncovers something far worse: the Celebrants—an underground faction twisting the Guild’s magic for their own rising power.
To stop them, Silas is given a new title: Hunter. His first target? A prodigy of the Guild… and the one friend he ever trusted.
Following a trail of corrupted chordings, dead operatives, and vanishing towns, Silas must decide which is more dangerous: the traitor he’s ordered to pursue—or the Guild that trained him to obey.
Because the Celebrants aren’t hiding anymore. They’re recruiting.
And the dissonance whispering through the world is growing louder.
Genre: Fantasy
