β¦ Synopsis
THE NIGHT....
An ancient instrument of unspeakable power, LhantΠ²Πβ’s legendary Saireflute is meant to be played only as a ceremonial reminder of the QueenΠ²Πβ’s might, and to be handled only by a docile, well-trained virgin. When an accident of fate --or magic-- instead places it in the hands of a disgraced and disreputable young lady-in-waiting, Elzin sees her miraculous ascent as her escape from a flogging, the furious Queen sees it as the motive for a murder...
And the mysterious Highlander Count Caldan Val Torska recognizes it as one last, desperate chance for his proud but subjugated people, no matter what--or who--he must sacrifice to save them.
