Synopsis
"Gair is under a death sentence. He can hear music, music with power, and in the Holy City that means only one thing: he's a witch, and he's going to be burnt at the stake. Even if he could escape, the Church Knights and their witchfinder would be hot on his heels while his burgeoning power threatens to tear him apart from within."--Back cover.
