I just wanted to give a description of the capital city where my main character Valon spends most of his time in my debut YA fantasy romance novel NOCTURNA, which is named after the country the city Udea is located in and hidden within modern-day Turkey.

Most, if not all people enjoy or at least know of this song. It's actually one of my favorites because it fits so perfectly with my story.
