Her music compels minds—his blade cuts through her songs.

When Trisha plays, she can shatter minds and bend reality. In a world where such power vanished with the fae, exposingit would cost her freedom—and twist her into a weapon of war. Still, she cannot stop. Not until she discovers why her parents gave her away.
Warlord Blainor Dewingar is everything Trisha must avoid: powerful, intelligent, and immune to her magic. Yet in his realm, she may find answers to her past.

When Blainor’s enemies close in, she’s swept into his conflict. He offers her refuge as his bard, claiming he only wants her music. Despite knowing better, Trisha accepts. The pull of her past is stronger than her distrust.

In his court, she faces dread and desire. Rumors whisper of terror in the north, while Blainor watches with discerning eyes.
Each pluck of her lyre becomes an unraveling. To be seen is the one thing Trisha longs for—and cannot afford.

If she leaves, she never learns the truth.
If she stays, she may lose more than herself. She may become a weapon in someone else’s hands.

When every song is a risk, the one who hears them best might be the one to silence them.
