Description

Music, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the New York Timesbestselling and award-winning author of Darwins Radio.

Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michaels favorite classic movies. The maestros greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls.

Waltiris composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a sirens call,its notes ring out like a death knell,and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality.

The musics otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magicand where Michael must find his muse if hes ever to return home.

The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics.
