In a forgotten corner of the world, where a once-vibrant forest lies shrouded in a cold, unnatural veil, a timeless fairy tale unfolds-a story of hope, friendship, and the unbreakable power of imagination. The Wolf and the Fallen Star invites readers into an enchanted realm where a lone wolf, a mechanical crow, and a star fallen from the heavens embark on a journey to restore life to a world silenced by darkness.
Wahya, a gray wolf with eyes as deep as the night, has forgotten the sound of his own howl. Haunted by the loss of his pack, he roams a forest gripped by the Plastic Veil-a suffocating force that drains color, sound, and dreams from all it touches. But one fateful night, a golden thread of light pierces the Veil, and a small star named Lucilla falls to the earth, her warm glow a whisper of hope. "I've come to help this forest remember," she tells Wahya, her voice like a stream over stones. Together, they set out to shatter the Veil, but they cannot do it alone.
As they venture deeper into the Crystal Forest, Wahya and Lucilla gather an unlikely band of companions: Luce, a fiery red vixen with a knack for storytelling; Ramo, a timid young stag learning to be brave; Sasso, an ancient turtle whose wisdom echoes the earth's heartbeat; and Craven, an Iron Crow forged by the sinister Shadow Men, yearning to fly with a heart he was never meant to have. Together, they face trials that test their courage-haunted caves, mirrored lakes that reflect their deepest fears, and the desolate Plain of Ashes, where the Shadow Men's influence is strongest. Each step brings them closer to the Tower of Silence, the dark heart of the Veil, where the Essence of Emptiness threatens to consume all they hold dear.
Through the power of imagination, the group learns to weave light from their dreams, creating shields of stars and bridges of sound to defy the darkness. But the cost of their journey weighs heavily, especially on Lucilla, whose light begins to fade with every act of bravery. Will their bond be enough to break the Plastic Veil, or will the forest remain a silent shadow of its former self?
Inspired by the poetic legacy of Luis Sepúlveda, The Wolf and the Fallen Star is a lyrical ode to the resilience of nature and the transformative power of love. With its vivid imagery and heartfelt characters, this tale speaks to readers of all ages, reminding us that even in the darkest times, a single spark of hope can light the way. As Wahya howls to a moon long hidden, and Craven dreams of wings that soar, their story becomes a timeless anthem: that the light of friendship can shatter any veil, and the forest will sing once more.
