When the world forgets how to sing, someone must remember how to breathe.

The Flood has ended. The gods are gone-or so the Radiant City dares to believe.

In the hushed years that follow, Priest Aurel is tasked with translating a forbidden prophecy unearthed beneath the cathedral: The Song of Ruin. Its words hum with an old, living pulse. Its promise: "When the sea learns the city's name, the world will find its throat again."

But the scroll does not speak of hymns or melodies. It speaks of breath-the act of standing against collapse, the rhythm that keeps the body alive when faith cannot.

And when Kaelith, the city's most wounded soldier, returns from exile, the lines between devotion and love begin to blur.

What begins as translation becomes confession. What begins as ruin becomes revelation.

As the Council of Radiant Order demands a verdict that could burn the last remnants of divinity, Aurel and Kaelith find themselves at the edge of belief and memory- where to speak a god's name might mean ending the world again, and to stay silent might mean losing each other forever.

Beneath the ash of the old empire, the sea stirs, whispering Eryndor's name in light. The scroll glows. The dead language learns to breathe.

And the prophecy that was never meant to be sung begins to awaken-one heartbeat, one word, one body at a time.

Lyrical, intimate, and devastatingly human, Ruin Song is the dark heart of The Sea Song Chronicle: a tale of forbidden scripture, the burden of love that outlives gods, and the courage to reclaim breath from silence.

"The Song of Ruin is not sung. It is stood." "And when we stand, the sea remembers its voice."
