The Singer's Crown

Kattanan duRhys, the appealing hero of Isaak's engaging fantasy debut, is a singer whose golden voice came at the expense of his manhood. He was castrated as a child, when his uncle, Duke Thorgir, usurped his father's throne and murdered his family, sparing only his "favorite nephew," but rendering him unable to bear children who could threaten his reign. Since then, Kattanan has served master after master, his incredible talent making him the perfect gift to exchange for favors.
