Seeing fear in a kingdom of noise

A kingdom’s recurring battles with a dragon are loud enough to define life for its people, but Boy experiences them differently: he lives in silence and cannot hear the fighting. He can, however, see the fear it leaves behind. That contrast places disability within the story’s central conflict and makes Boy’s perception important to how the kingdom’s troubles are understood. The brief premise points toward a tale about fear, conflict, and the possibility of a happier life beyond the battles.

Good fit for readers who enjoy
