The Sylver Quill
Fantasy woven from silence, storm, and choice.
About A.G. Sylver
A.G. Sylver is the pen name of Alex Gross, a fantasy author drawn to stories of unraveling fate, quiet defiance, and the weight of choice.Book One of the Ascendant Series — Fate’s Threshold — marks the beginning of a girl’s quiet rebellion against a future written without her.He didn’t begin this story to impress anyone. He began it because he needed somewhere to return to—
a place where strength and softness could coexist,
where choice mattered more than prophecy,
and where the quiet moments in between battles held as much meaning as the victories.Now, he writes toward the stillness before a hard decision, the ache of a final glance, the crown held in shaking hands.As he puts it:
"I’m not here to follow the thread. I’m here to pull it."
ASCENDANT
Book One - Fate's Threshold
(Revisions in Progress)
They say every journey begins with a single step—but what if that step is just the start of something you never chose?Irayna never asked for the visions that haunt her dreams or the power coursing through her veins. As the heir to a powerful kingdom, she thought her path was clear: a life of duty, defined by the expectations of her people. But when a seemingly chance encounter tears her from the world she knows and casts her into another, she finds herself drawn into the strands of a larger tapestry—one that may have been waiting for her all along.In Valmyra, a realm of beauty and shadowed secrets, ancient forces stir as whispers of prophecy echo in her wake. As Irayna uncovers the truth of her connection to this place and those that shape it, she finds herself questioning not just the motives of those around her, but her own identity. Is she the savior this land needs—or the one who will destroy it?Caught between light and darkness, Irayna faces a choice: accept the role thrust upon her or defy the destiny others have woven.At the threshold of fate, one woman will write the story—or watch it all unravel.

Book Two - Wings of Prophecy
(Currently Drafting)
They say knowledge is power—but what if what you know is the very thing no one else believes?Irayna has taken the crown, but unity remains an illusion. Whispers of doubt echo through the chambers of Aegion, and every step forward seems to uncover new fractures—within the realm, and within herself. When dark omens begin to surface in the north, Irayna sees what others will not: a storm is coming, and its roots run deeper than any war.But truth is a shifting thread, and each answer she finds only unravels another—
as if the world itself is circling something it refuses to name.Old powers stir beneath the surface. Lost memories claw their way back into light. And somewhere in the shadows, something waits—watching.To protect her people, Irayna must uncover a war already in motion—
and ask herself, with every step:What will be left of me when the truth comes to light?
