Not all roads lead to salvation. Sometimes, they are merely a beginning, like a distant song that comes from an unknown place, then rises… until it becomes a scream that haunts the mind.

In “The Flight of Icarus,” the disaster doesn’t stop at the borders of a small town, but begins within it; from an overwhelming desire for salvation, from a dream of becoming someone of value, and from a single step towards a light that seems beautiful, promising hope… and concealing the burning.

The story doesn’t begin with a small child who vanishes without a trace, or with a monster emerging from the darkness, but with a young man… who believes that leaving the town is salvation, and that music is the ideal means to achieve his goal.

But some doors open only to show you what shouldn’t be seen, and some opportunities promise us hope… while concealing torment within.

“The Flight of Icarus” is not just an ordinary novel, but a work that will leave an invisible scar on your heart.
