Where Choirs Die and Stars Begin: Book One of the Versebound Psalm

Where Choirs Die and Stars BeginBook One of the Versebound PsalmBy Rj HauseyIn a world ruled by sacred song and enforced silence, your voice can be rewritten—or erased.Ezra was raised to obey the Choir—a vast, holy order that shapes reality through carefully controlled hymns and ancient psalms. To sing outside their script is heresy. To remember forgotten verses is treason. But when a forbidden ritual grants Ezra a glimpse beyond the Veil, he awakens a buried power: the Star-Song, a melody older than the Choir itself, echoing in the blood of the silenced.Now marked by Saint Eyes and hunted by the Choir’s deadliest agents, Ezra finds himself caught in a war of voices: relic assassins, cursed blood-singers, and living cathedrals who kill with harmony. Among unlikely allies—Riven, a masked vampire with a blade that hums with rebellion, and Elare, a swordbearer whose faith is beginning to crack—Ezra must reclaim the songs that were stolen and rewrite the story the world was forced to believe.Because when the Choir sings your fate, the only way to survive… is to sing louder.A darkly lyrical fantasy full of gothic mysticism, found family, and mythic power, Where Choirs Die and Stars Begin is the first movement in the haunting, unforgettable Versebound Psalm.
