The Marionette King

writerblockssuck
Everyone listens when the King speaks. No one remembers choosing to. The Marionette King rules without a throne, a face, or an army. Only a voice that slips into the mind and leaves obedience behind. Resistance isn’t punished. It simply doesn’t exist. Lira knows better than to ask questions. In a world built on silence, curiosity is a quiet kind of death. But when a chance encounter pulls her into the shadows of a growing rebellion, she begins to notice the cracks, hesitations in the King’s commands, moments where the world seems to stutter. As the rebels close in on the source of the control, Lira is forced to confront a terrifying truth: freedom may be far more dangerous than obedience. Because some strings, once cut, don’t set you free. They tighten.
