Oran lives on Little Drum, where music is everything. Every islander

has a birth instrument and a life song - and the ancestors,

called ghasts, linger to hear the music.

But when the Duchess arrives from the mainland bringing orders

of silence, she threatens the ghasts' existence, the very soul of

the community.

When Oran hears of a mythical instrument with the power to manipulate

hearts, she brings her ghast best friend, Alick, on a quest

to find it, play it, and change the Duchess's mind ...

In the Shadow of the Heroes comes a thrilling

Celtic-inspired fantasy adventure.

The adventure and magic of Neil Gaiman's Stardust

with a Hebridean-inspired fantasy setting and lovable

characters reminiscent of Pixar's Brave.

A story about how music has the power to reveal, to inspire,

and to bind people together.
