En savoir plus sur le livre

In a high fantasy realm, a young woman named Kimbralin Amaristoth, who renounces her oppressive past, embarks on a perilous quest to restore her world's lost magic. Now known as Lin, she is a gifted musician in a society that forbids women from pursuing such arts. As a fugitive, she must hide her identity to avoid imprisonment or death. On the eve of a significant festival, Lin discovers that a deadly and unnatural pandemic, reminiscent of a past apocalypse, has returned to Eivar. This resurgence recalls a time when magic thrived, born from artistic expression—song, verse, and storytelling. However, the land has been stripped of this power due to forbidden blood divination experiments that unleashed the catastrophic Red Death, which claimed countless lives and severed Eivar's connection to the Otherworld. The return of the Red Death signals that someone is engaging in dark magic by spilling innocent blood. Poets, once focused on fame, are now faced with a dire challenge. Led by Valanir Ocune, the greatest Seer of the age, Lin and her companions embark on a quest to reclaim their legacy and reopen the path to the Otherworld, a journey that will test their desires, endanger their lives, and shape the future of their world.
