A young woman is both a bard - and a warrior - in this thrilling historical fantasy from the author of the Sevenwaters novels.

Eighteen-year-old Liobhan is a powerful singer and an expert whistle player. Her brother has a voice to melt the hardest heart, and is a rare talent on the harp. But Liobhan's burning ambition is to join the elite warrior band on Swan Island. She and her brother train there to compete for places, and find themselves joining a mission while still candidates. Their unusual blend of skills makes them ideal for this particular job, which requires going undercover as traveling minstrels. For Swan Island trains both warriors and spies.

Their mission: to find and retrieve a precious harp, an ancient symbol of kingship, which has gone missing. If the instrument is not played at the upcoming coronation, the candidate will not be accepted and the kingdom will be thrown into disarray. Faced with plotting courtiers and tight-lipped druids, an insightful storyteller, and a boorish Crown Prince, Liobhan soon realizes an Otherworld power may be meddling in the affairs of the kingdom. When ambition clashes with conscience, Liobhan must make a bold decision - and the consequences may break her heart.

I so enjoyed this story. I love Juliet’s writing and this is a lovely new story line! Narrators were enjoyable to listen to. Vocal pitches were never squeaky or whiny, making it easy to get into the story.

Excellent!!

Juliet does it again and it was amazing!
I greatly enjoyed the reading and story is exactly what I expected of this author.
I was even pleased to see her writing from the perspective of such brass young ones with out them coming off as annoying or impetuous
Absolutely fantastic

Not read any Juliet Marillier before - but this was great. Subtle and engaging. Definitely not your usual swords and wizards fantasy. Will definitely be reading more. Narration was strong. Especially Broc. Beautiful work.

I really enjoyed this narration and the 3 points of view. Juliet Marillier’s books always have a way of drawing you in and the stories are so good. I love the mix of hero and legend and The Uncanny. Excited to see what comes next.

Great collection of voices
