First published 2025
Wren knows only solitude and the melodies that fill her empty days. Her mother lies dying when a stranger appears with an offer. He will save her mother's life, but Wren must pay a price. She agrees to his terms and enters a forest thick with enchantments. Dark magic has cursed a nobleman, turning his heart to stone. Wren discovers her voice holds the power to break his bonds. Time runs short as her mother weakens at home. The stranger who sent her here hides his real intentions. Evil forces move through the woods, working to trap Wren forever among the trees. Wren's songs protect her from the forest's spells, but singing alone will not win this battle. She must learn to trust her abilities and see through the deceptions that surround her quest. Two lives hang in the balance. Her mother fades while the cursed nobleman remains locked in his prison of stone.
