Song of the Six Realms

Xue, a talented young musician, has no past and probably​ no future. Orphaned at a young age, her kindly poet uncle​ arranged for an apprenticeship at one of the most esteemed​ entertainment houses in the kingdom. When her uncle is killed​ in a bandit attack, she is devastated to lose her last connection​ to a life outside her indenture contract. With no family and no patron, Xue faces a lifetime of​ servitude--until one night, she is​ unexpectedly called to​ put on a private performance for the enigmatic Duke Meng.​ The young man is strangely kind, and surprises Xue with an​ irresistible offer: serve as a musician-in-residence at his manor​ for one year, and he'll set her free of her indenture. When the duke whisks her away to his estate, she discovers​ he's not just some country noble: he's the Duke of Dreams,​ one of the divine rulers of the Celestial Realm. The Six​ Realms are on the brink of disaster, and the duke needs to​ unlock memories from Xue's past which could help to stop the​ impending war. But first, Xue must survive being the target of​ every monster and deity in the Six Realms.
