The War of Spring

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!
