Perfect for you if...

You love fantasy that blends music and magic in unexpected ways, where the stakes feel mythic but the setting is grounded in real places like LA and Scotland.
You've read the first book and want to see where Michael's story goes when the faerie world crashes into modern reality.
You appreciate Hugo and Nebula Award-winning authors who take fantasy seriously without the typical epic fantasy scaffolding.

Maybe not for you if...

You need fast-paced action from page one. This book takes time to build atmosphere and explore its concepts before the stakes fully crystallise.
You prefer standalone novels. This is book two of a series, and you'll want book one first to understand Michael's history.
You're looking for light escapism. The tone is contemplative and sometimes unsettling, with genuine horror notes alongside the wonder.

About this book

After five years trapped in the Realm of the Sidhedark, Michael Perrin returns home seeking a normal life. However, the unearthly music of Arno Waltiri continues to resonate, and its power has weakened the barrier between the human and faerie worlds. Los Angeles becomes haunted by uncanny beings, strange bodies appear in a dilapidated hotel, and an ancient creature calls to Michael from a Scottish loch. The Sidhe have followed him back to Earth. To repair the rift between the two worlds, Michael must use the magic he never wanted to learn and complete an unfinished symphony connected to Waltiri's Opus 45, the Infinity Concerto. This sequel to The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy novel by an author who has won the Nebula and Hugo Awards.
