In a hidden world where music is magic, two ancient powers have warred for generations: the noble Bards and the wild Troubadours.
Bill Bard abandoned that world long ago, fleeing alongside the woman he loved in hopes of raising a family far from the violence of living songs and deadly bloodlines. But when their newborn son, Benedict Bard, enters the world with a cry like thunder itself, the peace they built begins to unravel.
Now hunted across America by monstrous musicians, secret societies, and the ghosts of Bill’s past, the young family must survive while Benny’s terrifying gift continues to grow.
Because some songs can heal.
Some songs can kill.
And Benny’s song may change the world forever.
