Revenge, magic, power - a queer fantasy about the grace and curse of forgetting and the fight for freedom
Three inextricably linked fates decide the future of a war-torn empire. Amid the conflict between the rebellion and the cruel regime of Sha, Caliyan is the strongest mage of his time. But in an attempt to escape his dark destiny, he loses himself in revenge.
Vaelen is a simple fisherman who doesn't know his past. The only thing that constantly accompanies him is a vague longing, driven by a mysterious melody inside him, which resounds even louder when he meets Laudan. But Laudan is not only a spy for the rebels, he is also the commander of Sha - and therefore not who Vaelen thinks he is. Together they prove that dreams, free will and love are stronger than the darkest magic.
"A book like a symphony - tender, sad and carried by a bombastic melody whose notes linger for a long time." - Mira Valentin
