The son of an admiral, cadet Dmitry Volkov, is sent into exile aboard the archaic sailing clipper "Quiet Starry Wind"—a living rebuke to the age of hyperdrives. His captain, Karina Vals, reads the cosmos like a score, and the ship moves on the energy of starlight. The technocrat must put aside textbooks and learn to hear silence in order to find the trail of his missing twin brother. In the void, where gravitational currents become roads and traces of other people’s jumps turn into a tailwind, he will discover that true power is born not from brute force, but from harmony with the universe’s forgotten melodies.
