Why this music
Because the book is a high-velocity cascade of betrayal and carnage across warring worlds, the tracks are muscular and orchestral — brass-heavy, percussion-driven, with enough space to feel the scale. The score darkens and tightens during the political chapters, then surges back into kinetic motion when the fighting starts.
