How deep does the real-world impact of corruption go? Is virtuous behavior truly optional, or could it in fact be essential to our survival as a species? Where is the line between protecting youth from the evils of the world and revealing to them the moral responsibilities that they will inherit? Vold Book's Oceans of Curtains seeks to answer these questions, among others, in a coming-of-age science fiction / fantasy narrative set to original music by the author.

In Ksevia, a hidden forest commune on Tristulle, Shanti rules with an even hand. Her just and benevolent disposition is answered by unanimous respect among the population. The honorable trust that exists between the citizens of Ksevia and their governing leaders has made possible a peace and prosperity that has flourished for all enduring memory. But when rumors of a threat to the Ksevian way of life begin to emerge in the inner-circles of leadership, all things large and small begin to unravel in a captivating tale of love and loss.

Join Pandara, Koravo, and the entire constellation of characters as they attempt to make sense of uncertainty as it winds through the world they love. When the powerful state that nothing can be done to fight back against lies and injustice, might life itself support a realization of a different kind altogether? Vold Book's Oceans of Curtains is an antidote that stands in stark contrast to the age of deception we all know too well. Rooted in philosophical inquiry, Vold Book's Oceans of Curtains celebrates the timeless importance of truth in all its forms.
