In the secluded island of Joya, tales recount a time when songbirds filled every tree and inhabitants trekked freely. The arrival of a tyrannical governor and raven invasion silenced the birds and trapped the people behind a forest barrier. For Isabella—daughter of the island’s sole mapmaker—the legends feel more than myth. As the community is rocked by a series of mysterious deaths, Isabella steps forward, choosing to navigate the forbidden woods and uncover the hidden truths that have long been whispered.
This adventure blends the mystery of lost songs with the quest for knowledge, guided by the skill of cartography and the lure of hidden truth in an isolated landscape.
