Hunter's Fugue J L Oakman

All sounds, all music, all utterances great and small echo a long-forgotten magic. No more is music beautiful, but lethal. The only musicians to be met are powerful spell casters on the fields of war.

In the North, a mad musician weaves spells of havoc and destruction, killing all he meets indiscriminately.

In the South of Domus, a lord's son saved from execution and a soldier wearied by decades of battle train for the day duty calls them both to take up arms once more. In a land where sound is danger and music can kill, the soldier and her charge must ride across a country full of threats to hunt a deadly foe; but first they must survive the journey.

They'll need both strong blades and diplomatic tongues on their quest; but can even these skilled warriors restore the silence?
