The Festival Of Bones: Mythworld Book One - Plot & Excerpts
In the tasteful residential section in one of Vienna’s southern districts, those walking below who could hear it ringing into the approaching night may have wondered if it was some great applauded voice, preparing for a concert that was not advertised; or an undiscovered virtuoso, on the cusp of a wondrous career. Only a few had the capacity to discern the quality in the sound that marked it as a recording, not an actual voice; and fewer still would recognize that it was a recording more than ten years old.Mikaal Gunnar-Galen shut off the turntable, then, thumbs twitching, switched it back on, and the clean, beautiful melodies again broke out into space.* * *In a city where musical virtuosity was practically encoded in the genes of its children, Mikaal Gunnar-Galen was a cultural phenomenon without precedent. Awarded a position in the renowned Vienna Boys Choir at the age of three, Galen dominated every performance in which he sang, and two things became quickly evident: the usual venues of performance, however notable, would not sufficiently showcase his talent; and his ego would not allow him to ever be a true ensemble performer.As he grew older, concessions were made to his abilities, and many strictures of youth set aside so that he could more fully focus on developing his voice.
