A page-turner middle-grade fantasy that is as thrilling as it is thought-provoking…
Graves kick-starts his Songweaver’s Tale series with a gripping installment, plunging readers into a world where tension crackles in every shadow and the battle between light and darkness rages with every breath. When Aileen is abducted into the depths of Old Gloamwood, her brother Gregor and loyal friend Baldwin embark on a daring mission. Joined by the unlikely ally Cunung, they navigate the mysterious Dark Below—a realm of ancient magic and lurking danger—to overcome treacherous obstacles and formidable foes in their quest to save Aileen. Graves’ characters transcend mere fantasy archetypes, coming to life with struggles and growth that resonate on a deeply emotional level. Gregor’s fierce protectiveness, Aileen’s unyielding hope, and Baldwin’s sharp wit create a trio that is both relatable and heartbreakingly real. Graves’ prose is sharp and evocative and the pacing relentless. The use of music as a transformative force elevates this novel, infusing the genre with fresh energy.
This is a taut, immersive read that lingers long after the final page.
