Infos

Under the shimmering dome of Aethelgard, a city suffocating in engineered silence, two souls ignite a symphony of defiance. Elara Thorne, a composer of extraordinary talent, lives a life of privilege within the dome, her music a silent rebellion against the suffocating tranquility.  Beyond the dome's protective embrace, in the smog-choked Lower City, Kael Voss, a young alchemist fueled by a burning grief, seeks to reclaim the stolen voices of his people.
A chance encounter in Elara's hidden rooftop sanctuary sparks a dangerous connection.  They uncover the Citadel's horrific secret: the dome's shimmering beauty is powered by the stolen essence of human expression, every breath, every word, every song meticulously extracted. Their shared outrage ignites a forbidden love and a desperate fight for freedom.
Elara, using her privileged access, becomes a spy within the gilded cage, weaving coded messages of resistance into her music. Kael, a charismatic leader, unites the fractured factions of the Lower City, turning their collective rage into a focused symphony of rebellion. But their actions draw the attention of Commander Valerius Thorne, Elara's ruthless uncle and a fanatical guardian of silence.  Caught in the crossfire is Lucian, Elara's brother, torn between family loyalty and a growing unease. He becomes an unwitting player in their dangerous game, his conscience a battlefield where loyalty and morality clash.
As the rebellion gains momentum, Aethelgard vibrates with the unspoken words of its people. Every stolen breath becomes a note in a rising crescendo of defiance. Their love a beacon of hope amidst the pervasive silence, Elara and Kael orchestrate a daring plan to shatter the phonic conduits, to return the stolen voices, and to expose the Citadel's tyranny.
In a climactic battle fought not with weapons, but with the power of voice, the Lower City rises. Sonic resonators clash with enforced silence, coded melodies unleash chaos, and a brother's choice echoes through the unfolding symphony of rebellion.  Will their symphony of defiance shatter the dome and restore the stolen voices, or will the Citadel's chilling silence prevail?
