Lark and Zain are
friends, cautiously moving towards becoming lovers. Lark is a singer of songs along
with beautifully playing the lute; he also helps the departed soul transition
to their final destinations, a secret known only by Lark’s closest friends.
Zain is an assassin with the angry spirits of his victims surrounding
him.
Song Of Souls is the third book in the Terra
Series. The first book in the series is To The Other Side,
where the reader is introduced Bryson,
Torran, Larkin, Zain and Aleric. In each book the
plot features a romantic interest, deadly enemies as well as the five men that
are more like brothers than friends banding together to save the residents of
Terra.
Song Of Souls is an emotionally powerful plot
featuring Lark attempting to reconcile his principled mind with the love in his
heart for Zain. Another dilemma is dealing with unwelcome attentions from
rogues, a love struck soldier and a soul stealing necromancer. Zain’s profession
keeps Lark and Zain apart until Lark is attacked and it is Zain’s assassin
skills that save Lark’s life.
Lark is a calm nonviolent young man who is considerate to
everyone, but Lark’s gift of guiding souls is sometimes his curse when conversing
with angry spirits. Besides his friends
especially Zain’s protection, Lark has another protector who is always with him,
his cat Ghost. Ghost warns Lark of spirits approaching as well as impending
danger.
Zain is a realist and with his silver fox companion Kit
watching his back, Zain does the job he is paid to do without too much moral deliberation,
although most of Zain’s kills were justified. Zain never imagined a future
beyond imprisonment or his own death until Lark confessed his love for Zain. Now
the future has possibilities Zain can actually look forward to.
