Summary

In the coastal town of Starhaven, music has fallen silent since the old lighthouse shuttered its beacon. Young fisherboy Maren and aspiring poet Lyssa refuse to let the melodies die. Armed with a battered guitar and seashell percussion, they set sail on a makeshift raft to gather songs from neighboring islands—from storm-taming chants to gentle lullabies and rollicking jigs. Each shared melody brings new hope ashore. Upon their return, Maren and Lyssa unite the villagers as the freshly formed Village Minstrels. Under the relit lighthouse beam, their grand performance proves that even in the darkest nights, music can rekindle community light.
