The Eternal Muse: Desecration
When a song is a weapon, who can wield it?
Piper’s music is possessed by secret, forbidden magic that manipulates the emotions of his audiences; it’s nothing he asked for, nothing he can control. Outed by the priests of The One, who threaten to use that same magic to turn him into an unfeeling beast, he runs, escaping to neighboring Eften.
Alaria is a warrior priestess of Eften, sworn to service in her church. But the master who recruited her, who sought to understand the emotional magic, dies suddenly, replaced by a woman who’d burn down the world with her ambition.
Can the two of them discover the truth behind the magic in time to prevent a terrible war between their countries? Or will they end up as the latest victims of their churches, all ability to feel hope, love, or even hate ripped from their minds?
