The Singing Stones hold the voice of every guardian who ever died in service, freely given, sung in harmony for two centuries. Now a necromancer has turned the memorial into a workhouse, binding the honored dead to labor for a grief he refused sixty years ago. If the stones fail, every threshold between worlds closes by force, with travelers still inside.
Meredith cannot fight an army of bound spirits. Her mentor’s power is fading, the keepers are collapsing, and she has hours. Her one way in is the way no one has dared: enter the song itself, find the single spirit who holds every binding together, and listen.
Some prisons are built out of love, and love is the only key.
