There once was a legend of a being in long past With the might of the gods, but a heart frail as glass Many a folk had once gathered, many a voice in their praise Catching wind to the hillside, the king's blood a blaze For their might was far certain, like flame of a beast So the king sent his armies, and they fled to the east To kill upon prey, from father to son Until their might had lost favor, to no longer run Trapped in a cage, they were sent across sea To die in the waves, to die in what's free Until fear wakes the memory that the night glimmers a star A star of long past, singing a name we call Almar To rise from the ashes, to a world set a blaze To strike fear in our hearts, until none stands but praise

In Hajinn, singing isn't just forbidden: it's well known that it drives people mad. When Rajheem, a boy who loves music above all else, is plucked from his lowly existence to become the personal minstrel to Raja Helen, Third Seat of Hajinn, he is overwhelmingly grateful. As a foreigner, she holds none of the Hajinni superstitions toward music. What Rajheem initially considers a stroke of luck begins to seem like part of a frightening plan. There are Fair Folk in Helen's palace, creatures who walk the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead. They steal children away from their homes in the night, never to be seen again. As the people of Hajinn grow increasingly uneasy with their ruler’s inability to rid them of this infestation, a rumor begins that the Fair Folk were sent from the country to the east. At the same time, Rajheem realizes his singing talents go far beyond the power to create music. He can freeze people in their tracks, invoke fear in the hearts of his enemies, and even bend the fabric of reality itself. This gift embroils Rajheem in Helen's plot to usurp rule of Hajinn. As Rajheem struggles to control his newfound abilities and discover the reason his people abhor music, Helen orchestrates her plans to veer Hajinn toward war with a country it has been at peace with for hundreds of years.
