Uncover the dark past of the celestials in this melodic tale inspired by Chinese mythology and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. Filled with rich imagery and delicate poetry, the Song of the Six Realms will echo long after the tune has ended.

Xue, a talented young musician, has no past and probably
no future. Orphaned at a young age, her kindly poet uncle
took her in and arranged for an apprenticeship at one of
the most esteemed entertainment houses in the kingdom.
She doesn’t remember much from before entering the
House of Flowing Water, and when her uncle is suddenly
killed in a bandit attack, she is devastated to lose her last
connection to a life outside of her indenture contract.
With no family and no patron, Xue is facing the possibility
of a lifetime of servitude playing the qin for nobles
that praise her talent with one breath and sneer at her
lowly social status with the next. Then one night she is
unexpectedly called to the garden to put on a private
performance for the enigmatic Duke Meng. The young
man is strangely kind and awkward for nobility, and
surprises Xue further with an irresistible offer: serve as a
musician in residence at his manor for one year, and he’ll
set her free of her indenture.
But the Duke’s motives become increasingly more suspect
when he and Xue barely survive an attack by a nightmarish
monster, and when he whisks her away to his estate,
she discovers he’s not just some country noble: He’s the
Duke of Dreams, one of the divine rulers of the Celestial
Realm. There she learns the Six Realms are on the brink
of disaster, and incursions by demonic beasts are growing
more frequent.
The Duke needs Xue’s help to unlock memories from
her past that could hold the answers to how to stop the
impending war...but first Xue will need to survive being
the target of every monster and deity in the Six Realms.
