"The Sound of Stars" by Alechia Dow tells the story of a dystopian future where the world is ruled by an alien race that suppresses human expression, particularly art and music. The protagonist, Ellie, is a bookish girl who secretly nurtures her love for forbidden stories and songs. When she encounters a wounded alien, M0Rr1S, she discovers an unexpected bond with him and the power of creativity to inspire rebellion. Together, they embark on a journey to save humanity’s expression and defy a regime that seeks to silence them. Their quest explores themes of hope, connection, and the resilience of the human spirit.
