Publisher Description
In a realm where true magic has been lost for centuries, seventeen-year-old bard Telyn Songmaker’s powers are unprecedented – and unpredictable. Able to control the actions and emotions of others with her melodic enchantments, the violent aftermath of an accidental spell has left Telyn exiled from the King’s court - unaware of the price on her head.
When Telyn is outnumbered by assassins in the Wood, Mithrais comes to her aid, dispatched to protect her by dying sylvan gods who need her unique magical gifts to free them from an ancient and deadly spell. Bound to the Wood by blood and by oath, Mithrais is more than the mere soldier he seems, and he and Telyn discover that they share a rare empathic bond of heart and mind.
The Fates have plans for Telyn and Mithrais, but what is brewing will further endanger their lives. If they succeed, magic will return to the realm, but love may be the most unpredictable magic of all...

I don't know WHY it took me so long to finally write up my review on this beautifully written book!
Song Magick tells the story of the young bard Telyn Songmaker. It was Telyn's destiny to become the court musician.... until an incident at court ultimately ends up with Telyn's hand on the murder weapon.
We begin the story with Telyn alone in the woods, attacked by bounty hunters. The first half of the book is building a relationship with Telyn's rescuer - the dreamy Westwarden, Mithrais. (Whom I may have developed a slight crush on...)
Along the way Telyn learns more about her magical gifts and must choose whether to use them for those who are pressuring her, or to keep her powers under-wraps.
If you're not really a "fantasy reader," don't let that deter you from this great book. I'm not the type who really gravitates towards fantasy novels because I find that they're usually written as though the reader already knows the world in which the story takes place or else overly detailed causing me to lose interest. What I love about Song Magic is that I was able to jump right in and get to know the characters, and therefor get to know the world in which they lived, through the characters.
I can't wait to read about what happens next in Telyn's world.
