Klappentext

"A song of a lush, convivial world. A gripping vision."
Amalai lives fully in the sensuality of this breathing earth. One day the rustling leaves lead her to a mysterious stranger, to a song of fay...
But then a youth is found dead in the forest. Is a demon threatening the town? Already the soldiers start marching, foreboding a return of warlords and violence. But Amalai s friends will not take it. They will defend the hard-won freedom of convivial life. With force? Or precisely not with force, but with powers enchantingly different?
A young rebel and a misplaced prince, a no-nonsense magician and a shimmering dreamer band together to save the town, facing an uncertain truth full of fear and love and the beauty of starlight...
