The survivors learn they are not alone after the apocalyptic Destruction when Aquia, an intriguing traveler comes through a secret tunnel carved into the steep Capucin mountains. He finds a world devastated by greed, climate change, global warming, and people who managed to move ahead physically, but who still struggle to find meaning and purpose on a spiritual and mental level. Aquia teaches them to use music as a universal language to communicate with other villages, and also to let future generations know they once existed so they won't be forgotten. In return they teach him how artists and other creatives live in a reality apart from the ordinary world, and why their values must be preserved if the world is to become more tolerant and accepting of differences. The major theme of the book is that love, awareness, and the creative spirit can help avoid the mistakes of the past that led to the planet's destruction.
