Dawn Song: A Healing Merman Love Story After the War Beneath the Sea

di Lucian Reef (Autore)

Lucian Reef, 2025

After ruin comes rhythm. Ten years after the sea learned silence, the world begins to hum again—softly, like breath rediscovering ribs. In Dawn Song, the fifth and final chronicle of the Sea Song Cycle, the ocean that once devoured gods now teaches mortals how to live without them. Kaelith, architect of tides, builds quiet instead of kingdoms. Aurel, the priest who once sang against the Church, teaches children to breathe where faith once burned. And Lyra, the child born from mercy itself, carries within her a note that remembers every dawn that ever tried to rise. The world is not healed; it is learning. Villages rise from driftwood and prayer. The wind tastes of salt and second chances. Each morning begins with a small ritual: the cutting of an apple in half, the offering of its heart to the sea—a pact between what grew on land and what refused to drown. When Lyra's reflection begins to sing back from the water, Kaelith feels the echo of a voice he buried a decade ago. It whispers his name in a tone the sea was never meant to remember. Old power stirs beneath calm waves: the last dream of Eryndor, the dragon-god who turned his fire into dawn. But this time, no war waits—only the test of whether forgiveness can bear its own weight. Aurel says that memory is the only true god left. Kaelith does not argue. He has seen what happens when belief demands worship instead of listening. And yet, as light gathers under Lyra's skin, as water begins to breathe again, he feels the old pull—the invitation to become what he swore never to be: a man who sings to control instead of to connect. Between them, the sea watches. It listens to their breath, not their words. It remembers a thousand broken promises and still offers its surface for reflection. When the first apple of spring falls into the tide and does not sink, Aurel smiles. He says it means the world has finally learned to float without fear. But the ocean keeps its secrets. What returns from the depths is not ruin, nor salvation, but memory itself—singing in a child's voice, carrying the scent of salt and apple-skin. And when Kaelith answers, the world trembles not from power, but from recognition. Dawn Song is the story of a world that forgives itself by remembering everything. It is the quietest apocalypse—the kind that ends not in fire, but in breath. Here, love is the law that outlasts gods. Here, even silence learns to sing.
