Songs of the Earth (The Wild Hunt)
Orphaned as a newborn, Gair was raised in the Holy City by the church. Although he respects and believes the church’s teachings, he hides a dark secret: he hears the music of the earth. There are those who believe the music of the earth is natural, intertwined with the fabric of creation, and others who believe those who hear the music must be burned at the stake as witches for the sake of creation. However, unknown to each side, the Veil between kingdoms is weakening and will soon undergo an assault by a very dangerous mage turned reiver. Gair’s power is strong, and he stands positioned to either be humanity’s savior or its condemnation. Will the respected mages judge him capable to work the power of earth, fire, air, and water, or will dark magic infiltrate his mind and tear him apart from the inside out? Drawing on themes from many popular fantasy works leads to a formulaic story arc; however, this is an engaging first installment from a new author. --Alison Downs--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
