Years have passed since a renegade sorcerer faded into the forest, leaving behind a pile of burned bodies and a mystery. When fresh deaths announce his return, the only ones brave enough to fight him will be too young to remember... Learning the tricky magic called Canting promises to solve all of Harper’s problems. It proves her worth to the father who abandoned her at music school, and provides an escape from the instructor who won’t stop dogging her steps. It guarantees that the lute-playing boy will give her more than just a nod in the hallway. But it also casts Harper among thieves and poisoners, bedrooms and back alleys – and into the pages of one very private letter. What she learns about her heritage frightens her as badly as the old tales of a hellish realm under the sea. Soon she must prove loyal to a circle of lies, or forsake her own hopes, and her own life, to the renegade’s cause.
Canting is so tricky a magic that the College trains only musicians to it. In talented hands, it is sorcery so potent as to destroy legions. Many years have passed since a renegade student faded into the forest atop the bluffs, leaving behind a pile of burned bodies and a mystery. When fresh killings announce his return, the only ones brave enough to fight are too young to remember. For Harper, becoming a Cantrix at the College promises to solve all her problems. It proves her worth to the father who abandoned her at a music school. It provides an escape from the instructor who won’t stop dogging her steps. It guarantees that the lute-playing boy will give her more than just a nod in the hallway. But pursuing election casts Harper among thieves and poisoners, bedrooms and back alleys – and into the pages of one very private letter. What she learns about her heritage frightens her as badly as the old tales of a hellish kingdom under the sea. Soon she must prove loyal to the city’s strong circle of liars, or forsake her own hopes, and her own life, to the renegade’s cause.
