The Story of the Silent Witch
“Silent Witch,” also known as “Secrets of the Silent Witch,” tells the story of Monica Everett, the world’s only practitioner of Voiceless Magic. This makes her a formidable heroine who single-handedly defeated a legendary Black Dragon. However, Monica is also incredibly shy and introverted, and she only learned Voiceless Magic to avoid speaking in public.
A Secret Mission
Despite her social anxieties, Monica is tasked by the Seven Sages with a top-secret mission to protect the Second Prince. This throws her into a world of social interaction, which she desperately tries to avoid, and dangerous situations as she faces enemies targeting the prince. The plot follows her as she tries to balance her duties as a bodyguard with her personal struggles.
A Blend of Action, Humor, and Heart

Monica’s Unique Magic
