A mountain is screaming… and the world is choosing silence. ❄️🏔️

In Season 2, Book 2 – Chapter 6 of The Scandalous Hours: The Crimson Mechanism, the Dominion of Hawksmere begins to bleed as a terrifying new invention emerges from Alps-de-Pierre: The Stilling Engine ⚙️—a machine designed to silence the wild magic of the world’s Seals.

When a hunted emissary collapses at Hawksmere’s gates, she brings schematics, secrets, and a warning of catastrophic resonance collapse. The Maestro—brilliant, ruthless, and obsessed with engineered harmony—has perfected Dr. Frye’s dangerous theories. His goal? Synchronize every Seal into obedient stillness.

But silencing one mountain means draining another. 🌍

As crystalline scars spread across the Dominion’s borders, Eamon feels the dying scream of the Omega Seal in his very bones. Alianor must make an impossible decision: remain protected within sanctuary… or march into enemy territory to stop a metaphysical machine before its resonance becomes irreversible.
