Brutal imprisonment has broken Aidan McAllister. Once the most famous musician of his generation, celebrated as a man beloved of the gods, his voice is now silent, his hands ruined, his music that offered beauty and hope to war-torn Elyria destroyed. Even the god who nurtured his talent since boyhood has abandoned him. But no one ever told him his crime. To discover the truth, he must risk his hard-bought freedom to unlock the mind of his god and the heart of his enemy.

3.5 stars. The plot is simpler than most of Berg's novels, so much so that it's almost predictable. Still, it's a one-shot - to which I'm grateful for as I don't think I can read a bazillion-part series just to get my dose of fantasy. I'm not too keen on how she switches point of views, however. I want to know more about our hero and the POV change seems like an unnecessary and frustrating departure. Still, how else are we to know about other characters' motivations since she writes in the first person (her preferred POV style)? Still, this work is better than most and you won't be disappointed with Carol Berg :)
