Album two

Tisha

A quieter and sharper collection built around disguise, leverage, silence, and the cost of moving through courts that reward cruelty.

These tracks sit beside Tisha: Shadow Dancer and follow her through the rooms where performance matters more than honesty.

Krovaris Soundtracks

The soundtracks do not replace the books. They deepen the dark atmosphere, extend your time in the world, and reinforce the emotional identity of Krovaris.

Spoiler warning: the Tisha track order follows the book closely and reveals events after the chapters listed below.

The Quiet Before the Lie

after chapter 1

A mourning song about the kind of violence that tries to become policy.

Smoke in the stone

Ash in my hands

No prayers left

No gods that stand

They wrapped her in linen

Spoke of peace

Spoke of mercy

Spoke of release

I watched the flame

Burn what was kind

Fire is honest

Nothing else is

She burns

The world stays cold

I stand

I do not fold

Bartos won’t speak

His eyes don’t move

War took a breath

And left a wound

They say it was fate

They say it was war

I say I remember

And I keep the score

She burns

The world stays cold

I stand

I do not fold

The Circle of Feathers

after chapter 6

A courtly mask-song about performance, leverage, and learning to move without being read.

Feathers on the stage

Silk across the floor

Applause is currency

Nothing more

They watch the spin

They miss the blade

Light in their eyes

Deals are made

I brought will

They gave me skill

I gave them silence

They liked it still

I came unarmed

I left with daggers

I came with doubt

They gave me purpose

No praise

No chains

Only work

Carmel speaks in measured tone

Tyson moves the board

The boy stands where he is told

No wasted word

We dance at dusk

We cut by night

Cities cheer

They never see

Plumes above

Steel below

Smile wide

Move slow

No mercy asked

No mercy shown

I came unarmed

I left with daggers

I came with doubt

They gave me purpose

No praise

No chains

Only work

Feathers fall

Blades stay

Madame Sissi

after chapter 6

A silk-coated control song about choosing the room before the room chooses you.

Silk and silver, candlelight

Every gaze is mine tonight

I move like I don’t mean to stay

A borrowed smile, a polished sway

You think you see a softer side

I let you look. I let it slide

I dance for the court tonight

Beneath a hundred eyes

Come closer, take my hand

I choose who gets to stand

Painted lips and borrowed grace

Gone the moment I leave that place

The silk comes off. No witness left

The smile is gone. The will is set

When the lights go out, I’m gone

No eyes can follow me

Not coins. Not things to hold

I take the truth you hide

The Weight of the Asset

after chapter 8

A mission song about salvage, obedience, and the ugly arithmetic of preservation.

Grey dusk bleeding into night

Dust on the road. Hooves keep the time

Blue cloth raised. Urgent sign

A life to salvage

An asset reclaimed

Whatever the cost

the shadow is named

Life in one hand

Death in the other

Hold to the mission

Take back what they hold

No room for clean hands

No time for delay

The first blade opened

the rest of the way

All men must hunger

I only wait

Through the gloaming

poison finds the pot

A few breaths more

They fall to the floor

Now the stage is mine

The world forgotten

The cook eats first

She falls

But her thread

is not cut tonight

A living alibi

or worse to come

Plans break apart

when steel must speak

Blades resolve

what shadows conceal

Death in one hand

Life in the other

Hold to the mission

Take back what they hold

Back to the silence

The Circle awaits

A Feather’s fate

turns bitter at the gates

In the Circle

gratitude is hollow

Debts are paid

in secrets

Your hour strikes

The web is spun

And when the dance ends

I come to collect

Ink and Blood

after chapter 11

A polished betrayal song about contracts, surfaces, and the cost of reading before touching.

Ink on the page

Gold in the light

A seal pressed down

A hall of stone

A favor written

Is never alone

They bow to shine

They trust the weight

Every contract

Opens a gate

A gift raised high

A polished lie

Too smooth the hand

Too calm the eye

Ink and blood

They move as one

Sign the line

The work is done

Gold on the surface

Hollow inside

Poison waiting

For skin to decide

One second shifts

One breath allowed

My dagger flies

The idol hits ground

Silence breaks

Faces turn

Truth spills faster

Than gold can fall

Hands seize

Names fall

No blade drawn

Ink and blood

Same silent flood

Sign the line

Know the cost

I read before touch

Twelve in the Garden

after chapter 14

A house-of-control song about ownership, service, and the violence hidden under politeness.

Iron on skin

A click

A court that smiles

I followed the trail toward Brithen

The road bent south and turned to stone

I sat at the table

I wrote my name

The page went dark

My hands stopped being mine

They called it service

They meant ownership

Twelve in the garden. Keep it seen

Serve. Endure. Keep it clean

No noise. No slip

Remember why

A metal vest, fitted like law

He tightened it by measured turns, day by day

The court looked away on schedule

Twelve mounds behind trimmed hedges

One of them was my aunt

His wife limped through dinners

pulled by a hidden tension she could not stop

I took the names. The route. The proof

Then I ended him

She took the key

Traction released

Twelve in the garden. Still they stand

Serve. Endure. It was the plan

No noise. No slip

Now the house changes hands

I left the cuffs on the floor

I left with what I came for

South

Dance with Daggers

after chapter 18

A kinetic ambush song about the body remembering what the mind has to choose in an instant.

Two blades. One breath

One cut. No regret

Two blades. One breath

Wheels stop

Night holds

New hands on the reins

Old kind of rot

He marks the cargo

Three women

And me

Shoulders low

Step in

Closer

Closer

Count the space

Pick the spot

End it clean

Dance of daggers in the dark

No mercy. No mark

Cut the lie where it runs

Burn the cart when it’s done

Dance of daggers in the dark

No mercy. No mark

Dark brush and shadow

He runs. I close in

Steel hits bone. No scream

The rest falls quiet

Two blades. One breath

One cut. No regret

The Island That Screams

after chapter 29

A horror-of-supply song about hidden cruelty, ritualized pain, and burning the system down.

Quiet dock

Salt air

A hill of stone

pretends it’s not there

Nets dry. Lanterns sway

Cups clink at the dockside tavern

Boats leave heavy

Boats return light

Questions learn to stay polite

Only certain guests

find an island like this

Keep him breathing. Keep it fed

Roots in the ribs. Blood in the red

No mercy clause. No holy sound

Just steady hands below the ground

Wet stone. Rust air

Steps measured like a shift change

Calm voices over suffering

as if pain was inventory

Roots held his ribs open

Warm blood into sealed glass

Counted. Shipped

A throne paid in silence

I cut the loop

Heart stops. Roots go slack

One breath of stillness

Keep him breathing. Now he’s dead

Roots in the ribs. Blood left red

No mercy clause. The wards go down

Smoke in the keep. Fire wraps around

They don’t know my face

They only see the glow

One source removed

The system stays

The Book That Shouldn’t Be Read

after chapter 33

A ritual-knowledge song about cost, blood, and the danger of asking the stone to answer.

Stone steps

Cold air

We went down

Stone steps

On her wrist: blood in the cut.

The stone book moved.

You don’t read this. You pay

Wear the bracelet. Pay the blood. Take the voice

Stone won’t open for prayers or choice

It drank the red like debt

Then Lentris changed

Eyes on the page. Then on me

Not asking. Deciding

A mother’s mind

Settled in her hands

And I measured

What that makes her

Wear the bracelet

Pay the blood

Take the voice

Stone won’t open for prayers or choice

The chamber stayed cold.

The key kept bleeding.

No Place to Stand

after finishing the book

A final aftermath song about crowns, strings, and the quiet refusal to remain inside the web.

Ash in the air

A clean throne

A voice learning to command

I brought her the crown

She brought me a leash

A leash is still a leash

when it’s made of silk

A message for Bartos

Two words: "Take care

A dagger on her table

A Morhalis brooch pinned down: "Debt paid

Names don’t survive crowns

Maila, Sissi, Pontrê

Tyson gave the last one: Shadow Dancer

No stage

No colors

No place to stand

In the trees, a spider worked

Thread by thread

Patient. Silent

The web is yours, Lentris

I’m gone. Not free
