Song of the Far Isles
When the Duchess arrives on the isle of Little Drum, she brings orders of silence, threatening the very soul of Oran's musical community. But then Oran hears of a mythical instrument with the power to manipulate hearts; she must find it and play it to change the Duchess's mind ...
Song of the Far Isles by Nicholas Bowling takes us to Little Drum, where music is everything. Every islander is born with a unique instrument and possesses a life song, while the ancestors, known as ghasts, remain to enjoy the music.
The arrival of the Duchess from the mainland, bearing orders of silence, threatens the very existence and soul of the community by silencing the ghasts. This sparks a conflict that challenges the fabric of island life.
Oran, a young islander, learns of a mythical instrument capable of manipulating hearts. Driven by a desire to change the Duchess's mind, she embarks on a quest with her best friend, Alick, who happens to be a ghast. Together, they aim to find and play this extraordinary instrument.
