“Tragedy after tragedy, family after family; alone in a land that despises her for what she is. But where most would give in to despair, Primrose forges ahead. For however much the world hates her, she still loves it back, and she will do anything to see her mother's dying wish fulfilled. Such is her promise … and her fate.”
This song was commissioned by Skijarama (aka Tone Shift) for his novel ‘Scarlet’.

The second character theme for Skijarama’s novel ‘Scarlet’, he requested something moody and delicate focusing on piano and soft bells, which gave me the opportunity to play with the celesta some more. It also let me experiment with softer vocals, utilizing the performance of Italian singer Clara Sorace as captured in the Zero-G libraries Ethera Gold and Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals.
