A Silence in the Stone
Poems from The Hollow Veil
One poem for every chapter of The Hollow Veil.
A Silence in the Stone is the poetry companion to The Hollow Veil, Book One: The Awakening by Silas Fen.
Thirty-four poems, one for every chapter, follow Aveline and Lucien through rain-dark Bucharest, from a falling delivery boy on a wet November night to the Court of Ash beneath the Uranus hill. Some are spoken by the city itself: a cellar wall, a kettle, the stones that keep what passes through them.
Each poem is six four-line stanzas. Read them beside the novel, chapter by chapter, or on their own.
A wall can’t weep. A wall can only keep.
