WHISPERS OF THE ELIXIR

A matriarchal empire. A princess with forbidden magic. A mother who would kill to protect her own legacy.

 

As heir to the Min empire, Tori has learned to wear her collar well — defying her empress mother just enough to survive the guilt of her submission. But she’s hiding a secret that would see her sawn in half: a forbidden elemental power tied to the world’s mythic past. If discovered, her mother would execute her own daughter without hesitation. And Tori knows it.

 

When discovery becomes inevitable, she flees into Peach Blossom Grove — a mythic realm of ghost-flowers, sentient forests, and immortals who remember a world before empires. Here, magic is neither blessing nor curse but a reflection of who you truly are. Here, Tori finds what the palace never gave her: belonging. But the trials are brutal, and as her mother’s ambition threatens war, Tori must choose — suppress the power that could doom her, or embrace it and become the one thing her mother fears most.

Herself.

 

A slow-burn epic fantasy of identity, political intrigue, and the dangerous cost of power.

 

Perfect for fans of The Bone Shard Daughter, The Name of the Wind, and The Sword of Kaigen.

C.P. Silver possesses a magical power of her own, one that is able to immerse the reader in a world of sheer wonder.

Short Story Prequel

THRONE OF CHASMS

Princess Zinchen was not born to fear power—she was born to claim it.

   With her mother’s health in decline and her younger sister rising in dangerous favor, Zinchen knows the empire demands a ruler who will not bend. In a court of political intrigue—where love is weaponized, loyalty is bought, and betrayal hides behind every smile—she will carve her legacy with cunning, sacrifice, and unyielding resolve.

   But ambition has a hunger of its own. When the lines between duty and ambition begin to blur, Zinchen must decide: if power is the only way to protect what matters, is any line too sacred to cross?

   Step into a world of magic, ancestral inheritance, and ruthless devotion—where destiny isn’t given, but taken.

   Throne of Chasms is a gripping short story prequel to the Order of the Ember series. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy filled with court intrigue, dangerous family ties, and heroines who refuse to bow.

Explore the enchantment of the world of Arizan, where matriarchal power reigns supreme and ancient prophecies unfurl amidst forests filled with ghost flowers and sentient trees.

About CP Silver

A brief note on the author’s background.

A Word From The Author

   Welcome to the enchanting world of fantasy woven by my imagination.

    My stories draw from a tapestry of influences—European and Asian history, Caribbean folklore, the richness of global mythic traditions, the timelessness of Tolkien.

   Inspired by the depth and intricacy of Tolkien’s Silmarillion (though entirely different in tone), I’ve written my own mythology, and weave that history and lore into every corner of my world.

   The matriarchal society I’ve created is one of my greatest passions. As a mirror, it invites readers to question our history; as a threshold, it opens bold what-if questions about culture and relationships: What happens when women write the laws, claim the lineage, and carry the sacred knowledge? And is any power truly safe from corruption?

   Writing, for me, is part architecture, part alchemy. I chart lineages, outline plots, and detail characters—but I also leave space for the unexpected. Characters grow in the telling. Stories deepen as I uncover them.

   My greatest hope is to create worlds readers can step into, stories to lose themselves in, and moments that linger long after the last page.

   Here, you’ll  discover a place where magic thrives, heroines rise, and the forces of darkness clash with the light of hope.

   Step inside. The journey awaits.
