Eleanor, a timid, yet resilient orphan, yearns for a life outside the abbey. Lerion, Tsera's most ardent novice, dreams of creating universes. Twelv¿e dimensions separate them, but it isn't far enough. Eleanor is an ordinary girl with remarkable gifts. Her songs can transform barren land into food, a talent Mother Superior refuses to emancipate. When Eleanor escapes, she is compelled to confront her bewildering destiny. She is the last Singer and the only one who can dissipate the clinging mist and reverse the deadly sinkholes that threaten to annihilate the Earth. For this, she needs the Perfect Tear and the vibration trapped within. She must find the crystal before Lerion does, or she will become his unwilling accomplice in destroying everything and everyone she loves. Her only weapons are a strong will and good instincts. Eleanor must find the tenacity to trust these instincts when they drive her into dangerous and harrowing territory where she discovers that defeating Lerion is only part of the solution. Like the notes of a song must connect to form a melody, Eleanor must find the human connections needed to save her world.
