Captivating, Moving!

Over two hundred years after the Bards of Eire fled their native land, a village boy is born with a gift of music that hasn't been seen since the exodus. As the powerful gift grows within him, music becomes both a blessing and a curse for young Kaelin, and when tragedy strikes, he is convinced his music is responsible. When a Master Bard visits the village four years later, Kaelin is desperate. Only a Master could possibly free the torturous music within him … but what will happen if he does? 

The author, Marla Himeda, crafts a delightful story about the power of music and its unique impact on each person. Each character is well-developed and intentionally flawed, with dialogue that sets a strong, steady pace. Musical compositions highlight key scenes, emphasizing the importance of music. Her vivid descriptions bring the story to life beautifully.

The narrator, Will Hahn, delivers a strong performance as he effortlessly slips into each character. His deliberate pacing, well-placed pauses, and intonations bring out the emotions providing an enriched narrative with depth. His work brought the characters and narrative to life.

This is a unique fantasy without dragons, knights, wizards, or magical beings. This audiobook provokes thoughtful reflections on the value of music. I highly recommend this audiobook.
