About this book

Summary

In a quiet village where the hills have slept for generations, a listening boy named Selo uncovers an ancient drum that awakens the land not through sound, but through memory. As the hills slowly rise, the villagers relearn how to listen to one another, discovering that forgetting, not noise, was what unsettled the world. When the land and people finally settle together, they learn that true balance comes from attention, patience, and belonging rather than control.

About the Author

Lynvina Mance

I write the way I listen, slowly, closely, and with respect for small moments. Nature teaches me more about people than any classroom ever could, and most of my stories grow from quiet walks and long thoughts. I believe words should feel like breath, simple, alive, and honest.View all Audiobooks by Lynvina Mance
