Yen Press publishes the Secrets of the Silent Witch light novels and manga in English. The main synopsis is described as follows:
Monica Everett, known as the Silent Witch, stands as the lone mage in existence adept at unchanted magecraft, a genuine hero who singlehandedly bested a fabled black dragon. Despite her incredible abilities, this young prodigy is timid beyond belief! Indeed, she learned the art of silent spellcasting solely to escape public speaking, and despite her might, she suffers from a lack of self-confidence. Now, on a new assignment, Monica is tasked with covertly protecting the second prince. Will she manage to hold her ground while confronting the nefarious forces out to harm the prince, alongside the challenges of social interactions?
