The Maiden's Song
Book One of The Seeds of Hope
Douglas S. Pierce
The stranger arched a knowing eyebrow and closed Mouse’s fingers around the flute. “Someday, perhaps, you can return this kindness by giving the gift of music to someone else in their time of need.”Mouse—a fugitive and former stowaway—had no way of knowing that his benefactor was the very man that the Captain of the Hunter’s Ghost was hunting…or how playing music again would lead to a series of impossible choices…“The Enemy comes for you, child. A foe like no other. The night will be long and dark. The dangers will seem too great. But you must find your song, child, even when that seems impossible...”Those dark words by the kumpania’s ancient Seer are Seldy’s first warning that the life she adores—in the only home she’s ever known—is coming to a quick and violent end...The Maiden’s Song is a tale of love and sacrifice of how Mouse and Seldy must endure intertwined journeys of self-discovery while being hunted by an implacable foe who will stop at nothing to claim the power of her secret heritage for himself.
MEET RONDEL AKA MOUSE
Meet Rondel (portrayed by @antisocialdisposition ). Known by the nickname of Mouse at the beginning of The Maiden’s Song, Rondel is the lead male protagonist and the titular character in my WIP — The Guardian’s Quest.
📚📖📚
Although he is human, Rondel has the secret ability to hear the hidden songs (or ta’irs) of the people and animals he comes into contact with. If he takes the time to listen to them, these songs reveal the hidden motives, past traumas, and the true character of those he interacts with, helping him survive being orphaned at age ten, being drafted into the gang life in the Slant, and stowing away on the Hunter’s Ghost — a bounty hunting ship looking for dangerous fugitives.
📚📖📚
His whole life changes, however, when a kindly stranger gives him an old, used flute, igniting a dream to play music once again...and when he is asked to tend to the most dangerous prisoner of all — a deadly Fae witch who was responsible for deaths of a number of a good men — and he discovers she has no song at all...
📖📚📖
Soon he faces a dire choice — help the strange prisoner and betray the captain of his ship, or be a party to sending her to a fate worse than death.
📚📖📚
Does he make the right choice?
