"A rewarding and highly literate novel." -The New York Review of Science Fiction

"Jonna Gjevre writes complex, elegant fantasy with a beguiling voice. Requiem in La Paz is a dark and lyrical tale. Isobel Linden is a musical prodigy with a very unusual instrument, a tragic past, and a disturbing secret. Trust me when I tell you that you want to read this book." -Kelly McCullough, author of the WebMage and Fallen Blade series
