About this listen

The House in the Ashen Sea is a haunting allegory about hope, kindness, and the quiet erosion of innocence in a world that has forgotten its color. Set in a gray and fading landscape where compassion has outlived truth, it tells the story of a house built as a refuge—and what happens when protection becomes denial.

Through dreamlike language and philosophical reflection, the book explores the limits of goodness, the fragility of memory, and the beauty that persists even as the world dissolves. The House in the Ashen Sea is not a tale of despair, but a hymn to endurance—to the fragile courage of those who keep lighting lanterns, even when the sea has turned to ash.
