The King's Conservatorium
About this audiobook
I dream about the world my parents described, where music and song are allowed.
I was happiest when they sang with me. But now they are gone. And my brother has no voice.
Who will sing with me now?
When twelve-year-old Garlan and his mute brother Cadell are forced to run from their abusive guardians, they plan to find the land beyond their own, a place where they’re allowed to sing, unlike the laws that banish all forms of music in their home in Elatha.
They begin a dangerous journey to cross the great wall at the kingdom’s border. Pursued by the King’s Guard and facing untold dangers, can they find this magical place or will it separate them forever?
