Description
**An adult epic fantasy with a romantic subplot, left unresolved.**
The power of music once lulled a dragon to sleep and freed human slaves from their orc masters. A thousand years later, it is nothing more than revered legend.
With an unrivaled voice, Kaiya dreams of a time when music could still summon typhoons and rout armies. Maybe then, Cathay’s imperial court would see the awkward, gangly princess as more than a singing fool.
When members of the emperor’s elite spy clan-- Kaiya’s childhood friend and his half-elf sidekick (or maybe he’s her sidekick?)—uncover a brewing rebellion, the court hopes to appease the ringleader by offering Kaiya as a bride.
Only the handsome Prince Hardeep, a foreign martial mystic, recognizes her potential. Convinced Kaiya will rediscover the perilous art of invoking magic through music, he suggests her voice, not her marriage, might better serve the realm.
Obediently wedding the depraved rebel leader means giving up her music. Confronting him with the growing power of her voice could kill her.
