The Hymns of Creation
*Book summary in progress*Book 1: Numinous
When Trenton Evensong emerges from the forest holding the body of his wife Trisha Clearwater, the most powerful practitioner of Paean in Leon, he finds himself arrested as a shocked nation roils in political discord. As a Silent citizen, one of the few unable to use Paean, he is swept into a murder trial that will shake the laws that restrict the Silent, who have been rebelling against them.
A priest called Matthew Numbers becomes the youngest Head Calculator in a hundred years, and must lead the Leonese congregation through these turbulent times as he is called to re-examine the Silent laws.
Dicey Mnemosyne, a Taygete spy, works for Adam Westbrook--the Leonese king who murdered his twin brother for the throne--and studies him as he faces the wrath of his people during these troubling times.
And Dr. Averill Bentley, Leon's most learned Paean scholar, watches the trial unfold with anticipation--for he knows a secret about Paean, Leon's musical magic, a secret certain to rattle the nation to its core.
