Infos

In the shimmering depths of a dormant caldera lies Iskaris, a city built on the echoes of a forgotten world.  Here, colossal crystal structures don't just shelter its citizens; they sing.  They govern.  They amplify every emotion, weaving a delicate symphony of life.  Rho, a young Harmonist dedicated to deciphering the city's crystalline archives, finds solace in their ethereal melodies. But her discovery of a haunting lullaby, a song woven with forgotten warnings, will shatter Iskaris's fragile harmony.
The forgotten melody awakens the caldera, unleashing tremors that fracture not just the city's physical foundations but the very fabric of its sonic governance.  Fear resonates through the crystalline network, amplified into a cacophony of panic. As the Council of Harmonists clings to outdated traditions, Rho seeks answers in the fragmented memories of Tanya McDaniel, the aging archivist whose mind echoes with Iskaris's hidden history.  A terrifying truth emerges: the founders didn't just abandon the surface; they fled a dying planet, bottling its destructive energy within the heart of their new home - the very crystals that power Iskaris.
Amidst the growing chaos, factions rise, their discordant ambitions amplified by the fractured melodies. The Luminists, obsessed with returning to the surface, see the tremors as a sign of its reawakening. The Conduits, guardians of the crystalline network, struggle to maintain control as their once harmonious voices splinter.  Rho, guided by Tanya's fragmented memories and a disillusioned Conduit named Silas Finch, must embark on a perilous journey to the heart of the caldera.  Their path leads through submerged ruins whispering with the ghosts of the past and fractured districts where hope dwindles with each tremor.
As Iskaris teeters on the brink of annihilation, Rho must confront a terrible choice: silence the crystals forever, severing the city's connection to its history and culture, or risk unleashing the bottled destruction of a dying world. Her struggle to find her own voice becomes a fight for the soul of Iskaris, a desperate attempt to compose a new song of survival before the abyss claims its final, devastating encore.
