Istanbul, 1820 The scent of jasmine and spices lingered in the warm night air as the Bosphorus reflected the silver glow of the moon. Beyond the palaces and grand mansions, beneath the domes and minarets, the city hummed with life-merchants haggling in the markets, the calls to prayer echoing in the distance, the laughter of noblemen and diplomats filling opulent halls. In one such mansion, illuminated by the golden glow of hundreds of candles, music and conversation swirled through the air. Tonight was a night of politics and diplomacy, of whispered alliances and careful smiles. And yet, among all the powerful men gathered, among all the veiled women moving like delicate shadows through the halls- Two lives were about to collide. Two people who, by every rule of their worlds, should have never met. And yet, destiny had already begun weaving their fates together. Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

They said the world ended quietly. It didn't. It shattered, loud, violent, and full of screaming skies and black-eyed monsters that tore through everything we thought was safe. Now, safety is a bunker deep underground. Love is a risk. Trust is earned in blood. And survival means becoming someone you swore you'd never be. I wasn't supposed to fall for him. He's my protector. My commander. My tether to something strong in a world unraveling. I'm younger, weaker, haunted by what l've lost and yet when he looks at me, it feels like I've already been chosen.

Somewhere deep in the universe, there is an alien earth, whose people made of sound the very essence of their life. After millennia of history, a conflict out of the ordinary is on the verge of exploding: the evil Elizabeth Estro, princess of Luthelmark, desires more than anything to extend her dictatorial dominion beyond her territory's borders. The isles of the north too, agitated by their divine guide, have come to their final showdown. However, these are only the manifestations of an ancient curse that has been threatening to annihilate the lands of Hertzia for more than five thousand years. When a desperate scream, its voice unknown, echoes from the mountains, the people interpret it as a call to arms. Two past rival forces unite to contrast the impending apocalypse, that could end with the irreparable fracturing of the very source of existence: the Hertz. The War of Spring is a personal interpretation of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, my favorite orchestral piece, envisioned as an epic fantasy where instruments become living beings, and music itself becomes breaths, words, steps, action. If you enjoy a story with a deep lore, this is for you! I illustrated the cover myself, along many other artworks that will be added to the chapters!
