In a village smothered in endless winter, where war whispers through every shuttered window, young Elara has forgotten the sound of her own voice.
Mute since the day her father left for the front, she survives under the cold watch of her harsh aunt, clinging only to the fading letters he once sent.
Every night, in quiet rebellion, Elara folds those yellowed newspapers into delicate paper boats and sets them upon the river-
the river she believes can still carry her love across the frozen world.
But when the Avarice River turns to a mirror of ice and all hope hardens beneath it, a familiar silhouette steps out of the fog.
A soldier.
Her father.
Smiling the way memories smile-soft, tired, impossible.
Through a night stitched with magic and silence, father and daughter build a Grand Vessel from the stories of the war and the silence of her dreams, racing the dawn toward a place whispered only in lullabies: the Harbor where no boats sink and no goodbyes echo.
But every journey has its toll...
and when the church bell rings, the river will reveal what it has taken-and what it has given back.
A tale of grief wrapped in snow, of love carried on fragile paper, and of a child who sails beyond the reach of suffering,
The Paper Boat Harbor is a quiet, devastating winter fable about the lengths the heart travels to find home.
