Judy I. Lin, a renowned author with a New York Times bestselling book titled A Magic Steeped in Poison, has crafted a captivating standalone romance in Song of the Six Realms. The story follows Xue, a gifted musician who is taken to the Celestial Realm by a charming duke.

Xue, a young musician with a mysterious past and uncertain future, was orphaned at a young age. Raised by her poet uncle, she was trained at a prestigious entertainment house in the kingdom.

Unexpectedly summoned to perform for Duke Meng, Xue is offered a chance at freedom. The Duke, kind yet enigmatic, invites her to be a musician in residence at his manor for a year in exchange for releasing her from her contract. However, their encounter takes a dangerous turn when they face a monstrous attack, revealing the Duke's true identity as the Duke of Dreams, a divine ruler of the Celestial Realm.

As the Six Realms face impending disaster, Xue must unlock her past memories to help prevent a war. But with demons and deities targeting her, survival becomes her primary concern in a realm filled with danger and intrigue.
