The Soundtracks
The Music of the Sagas
Every book in this house carries its own score.
Themes first, then the music of the scenes themselves.
Begin where the saga begins.
The Twelve-Tide Sagas were written with music standing behind them, and each book keeps the score it was written to: a full soundtrack of its own, built the way a film score is built. The great theme opens the door, and then the music follows the story scene by scene, in the order of the book, so a reader can listen while reading and hear the chapter they are standing in.
One score arrives with each volume. When a book opens, its music opens with it.
Book II · Original Soundtrack
The Crown of Summer
The score of the gathering: sea roads, the courts of men, and a village of light at the top of the world.
Arrives November 20, 2026, with the book.
Book III · Original Soundtrack
The Song of Midnight
The score of the midnight: ice and candlelight, the globes lit one by one, and the song rising at the last.
Arrives December 1, 2026, with the book.
The road ahead
The music grows as the saga grows. The Unreturned carries a score of its own when it arrives in February, and The Maker's Star follows in June. Each new book in this house will bring its music with it, the way each one brings its weather.
If you came here from a signing table, thank you for standing there. The books themselves begin with The Blood of Winter.
The Letter
The Chronicle of Mercy
