A Heart in the Arena is public on The Midnight Afterword. The original song takes Oraya’s perspective from The Serpent & the Wings of Night into a cinematic lyric film.

The release also has a native vertical Short, with a direct connection to the complete film. The channel keeps its own name, artwork and book-led point of view.

This is the first public book-song release in the channel’s dated release record. It is independent, unofficial fan-inspired work with AI-assisted music and visuals.
