The Infinity Concerto
Michael Perrin wants to live the simple life of an aspiring poet in Los
Angeles. However, when he receives a key and a piece of music called The Infinity Concerto, Michael's life becomes anything but simple. Soon he
is whisked away to the land of the Sidhe, dangerous elves in a tentative truce with humans. Barren and stark, this world is anything but the
pretty pretty land of faerie tales.
Drafted into learning the
physical and mental skills of magic, Michael discovers of his role in a
much larger history of magic and music in both the Sidhe's world and
ours. Can he survive the pitched battle? Will Michael be the answer to
finally uniting the elder races?
