Set in the Baroque era, this coming-of-age tale follows a gifted young
musician as he journeys from the ashes of colonial Carolina to the courts
of London and Paris in search of belonging, identity, and truth. With
echoes of Beloved and The Music Lesson, Opinicus Ray blends poetic
language, historical detail, and emotional depth.
After surviving the racially motivated arson that kills his parents, young
Opinicus Ray ees to England guided only by his mother's nal words:
Find Ravensfaire. There he discovers not only a powerful lineage but the
gift of music that binds his past to a future he must choose. As he rises
in the salons of Europe-hailed as a harpsichord prodigy-Opinicus is
drawn into love, ambition, and the dangerous legacy of a mother whose
secrets could shake the Crown itself.
