synopsis
Glass Note begins with the birth of sound and the encounter between Nyx and Erebus, two primordial beings whose connection awakens love — and a wound that shatters Erebus and brings darkness into the world.
When Erebus captures Nyx and cages her voice, Spiro, a misfit who has retained a connection to the divine, is drawn into their world. His encounter with a mysterious white crow awakens a forgotten sound, setting him on a path that will lead him back to Nyx — and force Erebus to confront the wound he has spent his existence trying to escape.
At its heart, Glass Note is a story of love wounded into darkness, and a journey through that darkness towards wholeness.
