![]() ![]() I don’t know how to describe it without sounding all kinds of pretentious, but it looked like a book that seemed sure of itself. The skull, the beaded necklace, the piano. I suppose it’s fairly simplistic so far as Fantasy covers go (especially with the fashion of highly detailed illustrations these days), but even so, it just had this… captivating sort of personality to it. It may make me seem shallow and superficial, but the first thing that caught my eye about the Ballad of Perilous Graves was the cover. Even if they capture the songs, Nola’s time might be coming to an end. ![]() But a storm is brewing and the Haint of All Haints is awake. Unexpectedly, Perry and his sister, Brendy, are tasked with saving the city. ![]() Nine songs of power have escaped from the magical piano that maintains the city’s beat and without them, Nola will fail. To failed magician, Perilous Graves, it’s simply home. ![]() To those from Far Away, Nola might seem strange. A place of sky trolleys and dead cabs, where haints dance the night away and Wise Women keep the order, and where songs walk, talk and keep the spirit of the city alive. In a fantastical version of New Orleans where music is magic, a battle for the city’s soul brews between two young mages, a vengeful wraith, and one powerful song in this vibrant and imaginative debut. ![]()
