The Eternal Muse: Absolution The Maligned Minstrel - Rasmus' Story
What do you do when your own mother condemns you for heresy?
Rasmus Kesmun is a minstrel like no other, possessing secret magic, the existence of which is considered blasphemous. He desperately hides this ‘gift’, in terror of being turned over to the priests. Unfortunately everyone in his village, including his family, already knows, and none will lift a finger to help him evade punishment.
He hopes for refuge and a fresh start at the Academy of Music, where no one knows who he is. But an abundance of talent makes him a target of envy, hated by those who think he should leave the awards and accolades to those blessed by favoritism.
Can Rasmus persist, swallow the indignities, and survive? Or should he use his peculiar gift to battle back, knowing what will happen if the priests discover what he can do?
