Summary:
"Otherworldly Fae kidnapping mortal musicians to satisfy their strange desires. An innocent girl who can read people's secrets. A skyship pilot drawn out to sea by a song only she can hear. A pregnant mother protecting her child with the help of friendly forest spirits. These are the stories of Pileaus, a world of music, magic, and endless mystery. While the Empire expands, the bards scheme, and the ethereal Fae play their immortal games, life goes on in countless ways. What is the essence of a land but its people, as their small parts weave together to form a beautiful symphony?"-- Amazon.com.
