About this listen

The Silent City: Where Voices Are Lost and Secrets Speak is a haunting tale of mystery, resilience, and the enduring power of human expression in the face of oppression. The story unfolds in a city shrouded in an eerie silence, where voices have been stolen, and the vibrant culture once thriving within its walls has been reduced to a ghostly stillness. The narrative follows Elira, a wanderer who arrives in the silent city cloaked in fog, unaware that her arrival fulfills an ancient prophecy.

As she explores the desolate streets, she discovers remnants of a once-thriving civilization—faded murals, crumbling architecture, and cryptic symbols etched into forgotten artifacts. These fragments hint at a rich history of music, laughter, and uninhibited self-expression, now replaced by an oppressive quiet that feels almost alive in its weight. Elira’s journey leads her to a hidden library buried deep beneath the city, where she uncovers scrolls detailing the tragic origins of the silence.

A cataclysmic event—a curse unleashed by a powerful sorcerer named Lysander—stole not only the city's voice but also its soul. This act of suppression was driven by Lysander’s fear of change and his desire for control, leaving behind a society trapped in muted despair. Yet, among the scrolls, Elira finds hope: a prophecy foretelling the arrival of a chosen one destined to break the curse and restore the city’s lost voice. As Elira delves deeper into the city’s secrets, she begins to experience fragmented memories that blur the line between her past and the city’s history. She sees glimpses of herself as a child in a sun-drenched garden, surrounded by the sounds of life, before chaos and violence silenced everything.

These visions connect her to the rebellion that once fought against Lysander’s tyranny—a group of individuals armed with art, knowledge, and defiance. Their symbol, a carved wooden bird, resonates deeply with Elira, echoing her own latent strength and determination.
