The first man I killed roared like an animal. I tore off his head with my fingertips. I spent a decade becoming the best violinist in my state - but a single letter dashed my hopes of a musical career. Desperate to escape my sheltered existence, I took a mysterious offer from a music school in Bulgaria. The culture and my new classmates seemed magical at first... a little too magical. My blood runs dark and hot as new emotions awaken within me, along with supernatural abilities that take my music farther than I'd ever imagined. They tell me I'm the key to everything, but only if I can keep my head. That should have been easy. Instead, I follow my heart and kill everyone I loved. Now I'm going to get them back. "I can honestly say I have never read a tale that swept my heart away, such as this." ★★★★★ Orpheum is a young adult dark fantasy romance based on Eastern European history, the myths and literature of Orpheus and Pythagoras' theory of the music of the spheres. Readers who loved This Savage Song and Strange the Dreamer will love this hypnotic mythological thriller. "Amazingly enticing. I started out sceptical because this was not my typical type of read. I read the first few pages and could not put it down." ★★★★★ "Wow! Rich with mythic and legendary characters, haunting quotes, and mystery! I lost track of time , absorbed into the pages of this book." ★★★★★
