Warm & golden
Copper kettles, spice bowls and bottled remedies line a vine-draped apothecary as the sun sets over the city and an airship drifts past the arched windows.
Bright & airy
A bright morning apothecary of herbs, spice baskets and hanging lanterns, with zeppelins gliding past the windows toward the village docks.
Cozy & dim
A crackling stone hearth, candlelit chandelier and a velvet settee draped in blankets. The homecoming every aeronaut dreams of.
Scholarly & warm
Lantern-lit stairs wind through a library grown inside an ancient tree, heavy with leather-bound volumes, maps and brass globes.
Calm & green
Sunbeams cut through vines and mist to a hidden waterfall pool, deep in the jungle where no one may wander after dark.
Soft & magical
Giant spotted toadstools rise from the moss in morning light, where fae magic grows as freely as the ferns.
Fresh & sunlit
Red-capped toadstools and white wildflowers beneath ancient mossy oaks, the kind of glade where old fae legends begin.
Industrial & bright
Brass pipes, a wall of tools and a glowing furnace aboard an airship, its porthole framing a sea of clouds and a passing zeppelin.
Tip: sit about an arm's length from the camera with a light in front of you. The scenes are lit warm, so a soft lamp helps you blend in.

Most virtual backgrounds are wallpapers stretched behind a webcam. These were composed for it: eye-level rooms and glades with depth behind you, soft light that flatters a face, and the busy detail kept to the edges so your head and shoulders sit cleanly in the middle. A warm apothecary at sunset, a library grown inside a tree, a fireside cottage, an airship workshop above the clouds and three enchanted forests. Each one is a place in Airovale, an epic fantasy romance where time is the treasure, and a small mark in the corner is the only branding. Looking for phone and desktop art instead?

Yes — the story content is identical across all three formats. The only difference is the chapter illustrations, which appear in the ebook and paperback but not the audiobook.
Absolutely. The video episodes present a glimpse of the scenery set to the soundtrack's emotional journey, while the book is where the characters' thoughts and dialogue come through — the full interior experience of the story.
Airovale is appropriate for teens ages 16+. The content touches on mature themes including dueling, the penalty of death, greed, immortality, and coming-of-age young adult romance.
The romance in Airovale is written at a young adult level, with no graphic content beyond a few kisses. It centers on the two main characters as their journey to a forbidden ruin reveals ancient secrets about the island they inhabit, and their relationship grows into love and a decision to be together.
No warning needed. Airovale is a romantic adventure story, safe for readers ages 16 and up, with no graphic moments beyond a kiss.
Airovale is a series. The first book introduces the story, and additional books — two or more to complete the arc — are currently in development.
Not exactly. Steampunk fantasy with time travel exists, and fantasy with fae exists, but few stories combine both. The closest comparisons are Carnival Row (Amazon Prime Video) or The Anubis Gates (Tim Powers) — though Airovale is a wholly original fantasy world with no historical setting.
Primarily, Airovale is a story told through three lenses: book, video, and music. The website and companion channel (Roku TV) present short cinematic episodes alongside a complete original soundtrack, while the book is the deepest way to experience the full story — the center of the Airovale experience.
Ten steampunk fantasy short films — airships, fae guardians, forbidden romance, and a world where time is the only currency.
Every chapter of Airovale was scored. One song per chapter — composed for the story, not just inspired by it.
