A gothic tale of a young man discovering his heritage among nocturnal Zomens.

His path leads him through encounters with evil spirits and unscrupulous hunters. He faces religious zealots driven to madness by their beliefs. The climax involves facing O Estripador da Estrada, the most terrifying assassin in the dark. Silenti combines these elements with philosophical inquiry and urban subculture references.
