Aino gets cursed to wed the world's most powerful wizard.
If she can't break the spell in time, she'll be trapped. Forever. To Aino, the idea of spending her life warming the bed of a wrinkled old man-especially when it means life without her secretly betrothed love-is horrifying. Yet that fate that awaits her because her brother, Jouko, has dueled the famed wizard Vane-and lost. At the last moment, the old man agrees to spare Jouko's life in exchange for Aino's hand. Jouko agrees, and the contract is sealed with magic that cannot be undone by anyone but Vane himself. Aino swears she'll never marry against her will, but how can she not? With only two days until the wizard comes for her, she must find a way to break the deep magic, or she'll be Vane's prisoner for life. She thinks she found a way out . . . but her escape could mean merely exchanging one kind of prison for another. Based on a Nordic myth in the Finnish Kalevala, which inspired Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, comes Song Breaker from USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Annette Lyon, who herself is half Finnish, all Finnophile.
