Summary
The Empire of Songs reigns supreme.
Across all the lands of Ixachipan, its hypnotic, magical music sounds. Those who battled against the Empire have been enslaved and dispersed, taken far from their friends and their homes.
In the Singing City, Xessa must fight for the entertainment of her captors. Lilla and thousands of warriors are trained to serve as weapons for their enemies. And Tayan is trapped at the heart of the Empire’s power and magic, where the ruthless Enet’s ambition is ever growing.
Each of them harbours a secret hope, waiting for a chance to strike at the Empire from within.
But first they must overcome their own desires. Power can seduce as well as crush. And, in exchange for their loyalty, the Empire promises much.

Critic reviews
"The Jaguar Path serves up a second volume of rising danger and sharpening conflict, where enemies turn into lovers, lovers turn into whetted daggers, and every player in the game seethes with repressed emotion." (E. J. Beaton, author of The Councillor)
"If you want characters who will break your heart in a world with eye popping depth and battles that leap off the page and pin you to your seat then Stephens delivers. Come for the awesome song magic but stay for the blood and fire." (Stewart Hotston, author of Tangle’s Game and Entropy of Loss)
"An epic, bloodsoaked saga of rebellion, love, and betrayal." (Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones)

I: The Stone Knife (5/5)
II: The Jaguar Path (5/5)
III: The Dark Feather (5/5)
It’s no wonder Stephens is a writing mentor, as The Drowned Song trilogy is a masterclass of storytelling from start to finish. I was constantly surprised, delighted, and horrified by this world and its characters, all of whom were conflicted in ways that felt organic and distinctly human. I had no idea where the story was heading, right up to the final bitter conflicts and their aftermath, but I left the series immensely satisfied and awed.
