Celestial Music

Marysa Arynsdottir is unremarkable. She has lived, loved, and lost, like most who live in her seaside village. But when she sings, the orca whales come. Invading travelers from a distant land, with their swift longships and cruel eyes, believe that she is more interesting for her relation to one of their famed warriors who disappeared long before she was born, and for the sword he left her upon his death. When she is abducted by the invaders and completely at their mercy, things take a strange turn as the extent of her gifts come to light. Things get even stranger when she captures the attention of one of the invaders, Einar Fostri.

The abduction is just the beginning, and Marysa struggles to keep up with the twists and turns that her life has begun to take. When those changes bring joys and unknown challenges, from the human world and the spiritual one, she must choose to embrace them, or lose those joys--and her gift--forever.

This innovative tale takes cues from Viking, Inuit, Haida, and Native American myths and legends to craft a world full of vibrant characters, high stakes, and wondrous magic.
