In the quiet town of Bellweather, sounds do not always disappear when they are lost.
Some linger in the rain.
Some hide beneath floorboards.
Some wait inside forgotten letters, broken clocks, empty orchards, and old arguments that still burn years later.
When twelve-year-old Luca Vale discovers a wounded winged creature named Aurel beneath his bed, he learns that Aurel is a Soundwing - a mysterious being that collects the sounds the world leaves behind. A child's forgotten laugh. A whisper never spoken. A song torn apart by loneliness. A plea to come home.
Together with his thoughtful friend Niko and the quietly watchful adults around them, Luca journeys across Bellweather and beyond, uncovering hidden echoes buried inside people and places alike. Yet the more sounds Aurel carries, the heavier his burden becomes.
As the sky itself begins to grow quiet, Luca must face a heartbreaking truth:
Not every lost thing is meant to be kept forever.
For readers who love magical worlds filled with warmth, melancholy, flying creatures, strange beauty, and hope carried on the wind.
