Only this time, those in power control the servant class with the very thing that once inspired men to rise up and take back their lives--music. But it is not the music of old. \u003cem\u003eThat \u003c\/em\u003emusic is forgotten. No, this new music is engineered entirely by machines. This music suppresses that part of humanity which might be inspired. This music \u003cem\u003esuppresses \u003c\/em\u003ehope.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But what is old will be made new again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the village of Ravenskill lives a young man, Gabriel, who comes with a gift of power. A gift of music. As a \u003cem\u003ehuman \u003c\/em\u003eexpression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gabriel's brother, Arhys, leads a rebel militia that is trying to liberate the people. And he believes Gabriel's gift is the key; a key he hopes will help him keep a promise he made his wife on her deathbed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But the emperor and his son have different plans--to maintain control. Those plans may find an unlikely challenger in their own family. And the resulting conflict may yield lasting consequences. For them all.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With music as a moving force, the choices each player must make will bring them to a shared moment of pain. And perhaps redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 438\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.97 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 06, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713259114559,"sku":"9781733810517","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5af8844ad8b699633cdd7a158152b3d8.webp?v=1765064028","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-astonishing-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
