  Narrated with a rich, immersive cadence and woven with subtle, atmospheric soundscapes—from distant howls carried on the wind to the soft crackle of embers in a dying fire—Eternal Night draws you into an unrelenting dance of fear and hope. Press play…and discover whether dawn can ever break when the world has forgotten the sun.
