En savoir plus sur le livre

In a high fantasy realm, a young woman defies her oppressive culture on a perilous quest to restore lost magic. Once known as Kimbralin Amaristoth, she now goes by Lin, a gifted musician and lyricist in a society that forbids women from such pursuits. As a fugitive, she must hide her identity to avoid imprisonment or death. On the eve of a grand festival, Lin discovers that a deadly and unnatural pandemic has returned to Eivar, reminiscent of an apocalypse that once ravaged the continent. In a time when magic thrived through artistic expression, the land now suffers from the aftermath of the Red Death, a plague caused by forbidden blood divination experiments that claimed countless lives and severed the connection to the Otherworld, the source of enchantment. The resurgence of the Red Death signals that someone is once again spilling innocent blood to harness dark magic. Poets, initially seeking fame, are now faced with a daunting 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 ultimately determine the fate of their world.
