Publisher's summary
From the bestselling author of What the Wind Knows and From Sand and Ash comes a powerful love story about a musical duo who put everything on the line to be together.
New York, 1960: For Benny Lament, music is his entire life. With his father’s deep ties to the mob, the Bronx piano man has learned that love and family can get you in trouble. So he keeps to himself, writing songs for other musicians, avoiding the spotlight…until the night his father brings him to see Esther Mine sing.
Esther is a petite powerhouse with a gorgeous voice. And when Benny writes a hit song and performs it with her, their collaboration thrusts the duo onto the national stage…and stirs up old issues and new scrutiny that the mob--and Benny--would rather avoid.
It would be easier to walk away. But the music and the woman are too hard for the piano man to resist. Benny’s songs and Esther’s vocals are an explosive combination, a sound that fans can’t get enough of. But though America might love the music they make together, some people aren’t ready for Benny Lament and Esther Mine on--or off--the stage.

Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother.

Raised among the Keepers at Temple Hill, Bayr is gifted with inhuman strength. But he’s also blessed with an all-too-human heart that beats with one purpose: to protect Alba, the first girl child born in nearly two decades and the salvation for a country at risk.

It was a big lie. The biggest lie she’d ever told. It reverberated through her head as she said it, ringing eerily. “Are you in love with Noah, Mercedes?” Cora asked. “I mean...I know you love him. You’ve been friends forever. We all have. But are you in love with him?” If it had been anyone else - anyone - Mercedes would have stuck out her chest, folded her skinny arms, and let her feelings be known. She would have claimed him. But it was Cora. Brave, beautiful, broken Cora, and Cora loved Noah too. So Mercedes lied. And with that lie, she lost him.

WELL WORTH A CREDIT!!
IT. IS. SO. GOOD. I didn't want it to end. I want to listen to the fictional songs. I want to see the people. Someone needs to make this into a mini series or a movie.
The book is well written with interesting and believable characters (you'll feel like you know them), a compelling storyline, bits of history and a few mysteries. I could go on but I don't want to give too much away.
Also, the narration is perfect -- so important for an audio book.
This was a credit well spent. Actually, it was so enjoyable I wouldn't have minded had I bought it outright. This one definitely makes my favorites list.

How do you do it? I am drawn in by the characters emotion repeatedly in your works. You can express so many emotions with your words. How timely a subject and message. How desperately the world needs to hear it. The flow of this storyline was so smooth the book was as if it were a song itself! This story must be made into a movie!! I just finished listening and I'm ready to start it all over again.

Yes, this did drone on a bit too long, especially the final denouncement/ reveal ( no surprises there, it was signaled throughout the story). So why the high rating ? The narration ! So good !

DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!!
This book is like no other. everything is good about it, no, incredible about it. I would have to stop reading it every now and then because... well, it's too hard to explain. I have so much respect for this author and her insights to the character development and the story and her description of the times. I have not read any other of her books. my daughter says she always tells a good story, but her writing was a bit weak in the beginning but it has evolved into something that will definitely touch your heart in ways you csn not imagine.

Amazing book!
I would recommend this book 100%. The characters and the plot were developed. The story had the perfect pace and Benny’s growth was inspiring. It had the right amount of mystery that will leave you guessing and twists that will shock you. If you’re thinking about spending a credit on it, don’t think, do it. You will not regret getting it. I also admire this author for diversifying her books and including everyone in her beautiful writing. You’re amazing Amy Harmon.
