About the Song

Time is the Fire, Airovale Soundtrack, by Aurous

Lyrics:
Verse 1 There are secrets here That change the world we know If they only knew What we have seen below Verse 2 Time held in your hand You think it's yours to keep Slipping through your fingers Till your life's complete Chorus What is the plan? When is our turn? Life is the choices that we learn. Taking a chance, No need for concern Time is the fire that we burn. Verse 3 One day with you Was a lifetime lived and lost My heart is warm Though my soul stays in the frost. Bridge Couldn't we go and start anew? Escape to a place, beyond our view? Chorus What is the plan? When is our turn? Life is the choices that we learn. Taking a chance, No need for concern Time is the fire that we burn.

This song captures the essence of Airovale's central theme: the precious and fleeting nature of time. Just as the characters on Canyon Myst discover that time moves differently on the mystical island, this anthem reminds us that every moment is currency—spent with every choice, every breath, every heartbeat.

Experience the full story in the 8-episode video series or read the complete novel on Amazon.

Airovale — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Airovale?

Airovale is an epic steampunk fantasy told as a novel and a micro-film series. It follows a desperate man named Aden, from the capital village of Airovale. He boards a zeppelin bound for travel across the Southern Sea. He journeys to the Crescent Islands in search of fortune, survives a great storm, then is marooned on the lost island of Canyon Myst. His path crosses cursed gold, fae guardians, forbidden romance, and the Law of Exchange.

Where do I start—book or episodes?

Either works. New visitors often watch the micro-film Episodes starting with Episode 1 — Life in the Village, then read the book for the full story (Airovale on Amazon).

Is Airovale a steampunk fantasy?

Yes. It blends steampunk airships, medieval and industrial themes with fantasy characters, romance, and mythic world-building. For a world overview, see the interactive map.

What is the “Law of Exchange”?

The Law of Exchange says nothing is free—every gain has a cost. On Canyon Myst, time is the steepest price: one day on the island can pass as a year back in Airovale. The story uses this as a reflection on trading time for what we desire—at the expense of time with those we love.

Where can I watch or read Airovale?

Watch the micro-films on the official Airovale website (landscape and portrait versions). We recommend starting with Episode 1 — Life in the Village. The book is available on Amazon.

Who created Airovale?

Airovale—book, music, and micro-films—was written and produced by Jef Gray (Orlando, Florida, 2025).
