Emerald Aria - K.C. Spiegelberg;Nolan Nasser;Adam Scott

In a world frozen by the Ever-Winter, singing is power.

Traven Caelhardt finds himself torn between obedience to his father and aspirations of grandeur. When an audition for the legendary Grand Chorus falls into his lap, he seizes the chance to bring honor and fame to his broken family.

But the Empire that celebrates music is not as benevolent as it appears.

Traven steps into the heart of civilization, and begins to uncover the cost of the world's warmth. Behind the bright lights, flying airships, city-sized furnaces, and levitating trains, singers are hoarded behind gilded stages to be exploited and erased.

As Traven unravels the mystery behind missing singers and the truth behind his brother's disappearance, the spotlight becomes a liability. For Traven is more than talented. When fueled by emotion, his voice becomes catastrophically destructive.

And the Empire is looking for singers just like him.
