Kurt, a young traveller, lost, exhausted and alone, takes refuge in a remote mountain monastery. It is a sleepy place; for ten thousand years, the monks have been performing their rituals, their meaning long forgotten, tending to the land for so long, they have begun to look like the sheep they keep. 

 

There, he meets Sophie, a young monk, locked up for entering the forbidden Temple of Song. Together, against the senior monk’s wishes, they trespass further into the temple, uncovering its once grand past and its power to transmute song into soul-stirring shows of light and beauty. 

 

But encounters with haunted apparitions reveal a darker side to its history; how it reached its heights, how its power was abused, and why it had to be closed. 

 

In spite of this, one monk has secret ambitions to restore the temple to its former glory. Kurt and Sophie’s explorations inadvertently set his plans in motion and a race for its future begins.

 

The story is a journey deep into the temple’s ten thousand year history; how the building changed and grew with the beliefs of the time. Ultimately, it is an exploration into what’s sacred; what’s important and what’s not. And with this, the shape of the temple’s rebirth is to be decided.
