About this listen

For Finn, a young blacksmith's apprentice, life is a simple rhythm of hammer and flame. But when his hands close around a plain, forgotten sword, his world changes forever. The sword, Caelus, doesn't gleam with jewels but hums with an ancient power, speaking not in words, but in silent, visceral whispers of forgotten memories and impending dangers.

Guided by a cryptic riddle, Finn must leave his small village and journey into a world shrouded by a creeping, silent menace known as "The Hush"—a void that swallows light, sound, and life itself. He is not alone for long; a quick-witted city thief named Lyra, who first tries to steal the sword, becomes his unlikely companion on a perilous quest across treacherous mountains and through the ghostly depths of a sunken citadel.

As the encroaching silence threatens to consume everything, the sword's whispers begin to fade. Finn discovers that the legendary blade is not the weapon he thought it was, but a guide. The true magic required to defeat the darkness lies not in the steel, but within himself. "The Whispering Sword of Aerthos" is a thrilling adventure about the power of friendship, the courage to face the unknown, and the discovery that even in the most profound silence, a single voice can be the strongest weapon of all.
