A steady, cinematic instrumental journey through Fitz’s life: intimate piano and strings suggest his lonely childhood among the keep and stables, while darker orchestral and game-score themes evoke secret training, court intrigue, and the danger gathering beyond the coast. The music gradually opens into more expansive, hard-won passages, keeping the mix focused while reflecting the book’s movement from isolation toward responsibility.
