Time Is the Only Treasure

It is a bonus song and video from the world of Airovale, made as the grand finale of the first novel. In four minutes it follows Aden and Kira from his first days on the streets of Airovale to their meeting on Canyon Myst, the forbidden ruins they explore, the duel, her rescue of him from the jail, and their escape. There is no dialogue, only their actions and the song, where flamenco and lead guitar rise into a duet of two voices.

Yes. On TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook there is a vertical cut that opens upright and then turns onto its side as the story begins: turn your phone when the picture turns. This page and YouTube carry the full widescreen cut, so it plays properly full screen on any device.

Aden is a gaunt young aeronaut hunter, orphaned young and raised on the streets of Airovale, who joins a fleet of zeppelins to find his fortune. Kira is the daughter of the Fae Elder, a fae princess raised to keep an old law, whose rebellious spirit leads her to show Aden the forbidden ruins. Meet them on the Aden and Kira character pages.

Canyon Myst is an enchanted island where the Law of Exchange reigns supreme: every gift must be repaid, and time runs faster than in the world beyond its shores. Read more about the Law of Exchange.

Yes, as a bonus. The ten numbered tracks of the original soundtrack live in the soundtrack section, and “Time Is the Only Treasure” sits beside them as a bonus song and video. The video covers the entire song from the first guitar note to the last line, so watching it is listening to it.

No. The video works as a finale for readers of the novel and as a wordless, song-driven introduction for newcomers. It does show how Aden and Kira's story unfolds, so if you would rather discover it on the page first, start with the novel, and the free episodes fill in everything between the moments you see here.

The complete series streams free on the watch page and on Roku through the Airovale TV channel. The novel is available as a paperback and eBook, and as an audiobook of nearly four hours.

The widescreen version above is also on the official Airovale YouTube channel. The vertical version lives on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. This page is the home of the full experience, with the story, the lyrics, and everything that comes next.
