Singers of Nevya Series by Louise Marley

Sira, the newest and youngest Cantrix--one who plays healing music for the people of Neya--enthusiastically accepts an assignment to serve the Magister of the House of Bariken. She soon discovers that the Magister's house holds many secrets within its heart. A heart darker and more dangerous than the coldest Nevyan night.

On the ice planet Nevya, only the Cantrixes--with their flutelike fillas and angelic voices--can bring warmth, light and healing. But the Cantrixes must be formally trained, and a shortage of willing candidates threatens Nevya's survival. Until the Cantrix Sira defies tradition by teaching anyone with the gift of song to sustain life. And though branded a traitor, she is the frozen planet's only hope.

In this sequel to "Sing the Warmth" and "Sing the Light", the situation is dire in the House of Soren. It is now under the control of Cho, and those who serve him to do so out of fear--all others are destroyed. The Conservatory turns to the Cantrix Sira, the only one strong enough to stop him.
