This immersive volume consists of 6 powerful songs that drive the emotional and thematic arcs of the story, combined with animations and a gripping narrative. Each element complements the other, offering listeners an in-depth journey into Rakka’s world as she faces mysterious forces, deepening character conflicts, and unexplained powers. + + In this volume, the narrative follows Rakka, Sascha, Kev, and Bjorn, as they make their way towards the secret location from their decoded message. However, they soon realize they aren’t alone—pursued by dangerous enemies, the group faces life-threatening encounters.
