In the city of Veyra, where music is the source of all magic, Kael Dormer cannot hear pitch. His mother is the realm's most celebrated composer, his sister a prodigy, but Kael only produces dissonance. When he stumbles into a flooded crypt beneath the family estate, he finds a flute carved from the finger-bone of a dead god. The instrument hums a melody only he can perceive, and it begins to rewrite reality around him—unlocking powers, attracting enemies, and revealing a conspiracy that silenced the god centuries ago. Hunted by the Silent Choir, a cult that erases forbidden songs, Kael must learn to play before the melody consumes him, or the world ends in static.
