Publisher's Summary

Eric Banyon, musician, is out playing the blues on his flute one day, but he couldn't have known that the desperate sadness of his music would free a young elven noble from the magical prison he has been languishing in for centuries - nor does he believe it!

Narration ruined this book

it isn't just that the accents were appalling (and they were absolutely appalling), the voices of several of the female characters were intollerable: some were screechy, one young singer had the voice of a 3 pack a day smoker, and most just sounded like men.
It sounded like a parody

I Didn't Finish This

The premise drew me in. I spent over an hour waiting for something interesting to happen but instead, we got a protagonist who can be summed up as sad, pretty, pitiful, useless. I'm into Ren Faires and all the really happened was descriptions of how Ren Faire people are different than everyone else (if you love the culture, why not explain it? Share it, or explore it instead of deriding everyone else for being too stupid to "get" it).

If I knew the protagonist in real life, there'd be no reason for me to invest in that relationship. Everyone was unrealisticly dramatic. Consent was not a priority for anyone. I listen to books while I commute and I gave this several trips longer than I should have, waiting for a pay off. I don't know what the authors were intending but it wasn't a celebration of historical communities or character growth. I got the book as a free download so I'm only out time and patience.
