When a bard saved the day, he never expected an encore.
After saving their home from a magical disaster, Emry, Cal, and forest spirit Aspen ascend to high society: Emry and Aspen to the illustrious musicians' guild, and Cal to the cutting edge of spirit research. But their new roles send them far beyond the concerts and balls they expected...and deep into a city of dying spirits.
In the neighboring city of Matlock, a strange blight has withered their gardens—and the spirits living within. The trio rushes to investigate, whirling into Matlock's social season in search of allies and gossip. Here, Emry frantically navigates the dazzle and decorum to seek information, start his debut...and propose to Cal.
But when the glittering chandeliers illuminate more enemies than friends, Emry, Cal, and Aspen must race to stop the blight before it spreads—and the spirits shrivel away for good.
