Synopsis:
Gita has always lived in a land of blurry surroundings and nonexistent melodies.
Until she gets trapped in a sandstorm. The first doesn't change -- her eyesight is just as bad as it used to be. But while she fumbled in the swirling sand and the suffocating darkness, she heard a mysterious song string its way through the air and to her ears.
Immediately Gita knows something is strange with the singing amidst the silence. She begins to explore the curious noise -- asking questions and doing research. But views on this song are varied. The Mistress she serves bans it. The messenger boy she meets follows it.
Bound to her loyalty by her Mistress and curiosity fueling the relationship with the messenger boy, Gita is forced to make a decision: whether to suffer the Mistress's wrath and become an outcast to the land, or to betray a new friend.[I wrote a blog post about this novel!]
