Peek runs away from his village to discover a world of monks, magic and music. But he must leave them to rescue Dray from the Apostate.
Peek ran away from his village hoping to find a new life. He paddled out to an island he thought was deserted. There he would make a home to share with is only friend, Dray. But when Peek arrived he found the island populated by monks who took him in and tried to teach him their ways and their magic. Wise, old Locambius explained the way of magic, it was a reflection of the song that filled and created the world, the Melody.
Despite his efforts, Peek couldn’t learn the monk’s songs and when he discovered that Dray had been attacked and abducted, he left to find her. To Peek’s surprise, Locambius and several other monks were going with him to join the hunt. Not only did the abductor have Dray, but he was a renegade monk, an apostate who wielded the song-magic at the same time as he defiled it.
Now Peek and the monks must race to catch the kidnapper before he could harm Dray, or worse yet, destroy the song of the world.
After finding a map on a grueling hunt, Vanx and his new companions decide to travel deep into the Bitterpeaks, where a fabled hoar witch's crystal palace supposedly sits hidden in a valley called Saint Elm's Deep.
