Sinopsis

Fourth in the epic fantasy series from the author of No Quarter: “Good reading in the same vein as [Mercedes] Lackey’s The Last Herald-Mage series” (Locus). 
 
Benedikt can control the element of water through music, but water is the only element Benedikt can sing, which isolates him from his fellow bards. When the queen of Shkoder outfits a voyage to discover the lands across the sea against the Bardic captain’s objections, Benedikt is the only bard willing to brave the captain’s wrath and volunteer. 
 
In uncharted waters, a storm strikes and the kigh of the deep seas rises. All of Benedikt’s skill is unable to save ship or crew. Shipwrecked in an unfamiliar country and unable to send word to Shkoder of the ship’s fate, Benedikt must play the part he’s been given: a pawn in the game of politics and religion between brother and sister—who both intend to use his song to their advantage. 
 
As the queen waits for word, the kigh of the deep seas rises again . . . 
 
Praise for the Quarters series 
 
“I love the way Huff writes. She creates rich, complex fantasy worlds, populates them with likeable characters, includes lots of humor and action, bright, lively dialogue, and in this case, an ‘all’s well that ends well’ ending that is perfect. Unputdownable.” —Voya 
 
“A richly complex story set in a magical world that could almost be a part of our own history.” —Science Fiction Chronicle 
 
“This isn’t fluff, and it isn’t light—but it has so much heart to leaven its dark moments.” —The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

    Seventeen-year-old Emma has been on the run her whole life. Born Gifted, with a powerful connection to Winter, she has dedicated her life to avoiding the Institute, the worldwide organization that oversees all who are born Blessed with powers. 
    When Emma is forced to join the Institute, she's eager to test her warrior prowess but reluctant to use her power to defend an organization she's been taught to hate. 
    Separating the Gifted from their families, the Institute protects the world against Cursed creatures, those born with an insatiable hunger to devour the energy of all Gifted. 
    While patrolling the Institute borders, Emma encounters Dimitri, a young Cursed man unlike anyone she’s ever met. Dimitri’s full control of his hunger is not nearly as shocking as his unfathomable connection to her. 
    But when the Institute is attacked by mysterious forces, every long-held conviction and belief will need to be called into question, and its members must turn to those they have labeled as traitors to save them all. Can Emma prevent a war, or will the world fall to chaos?

    Body and soul. The song. That's what London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho's 606 Club. The notes of the old jazz standard are rising from the body—a sure sign that something about the man's death was not at all natural but instead supernatural.Body and soul—they're also what Peter will risk as he investigates a pattern of similar deaths in and around Soho. With the help of his superior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the assistance of beautiful jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter will uncover a deadly magical menace—one that leads right to his own doorstep and to the squandered promise of a young jazz musician: a talented trumpet player named Richard "Lord" Grant—otherwise known as Peter's dear old dad.
