书籍简介

在这个受中国神话和达芙妮·杜穆里埃的《丽贝卡》启发的旋律故事中，揭开天界的黑暗过去。

《六界歌》意象丰富，诗意细腻，曲终人散，久久回响。

薛，一位才华横溢的年轻音乐家，没有过去，也可能没有未来。 她年轻时就成了孤儿，善良的诗人叔叔收留了她，并安排她在王国备受尊敬的娱乐场所之一当学徒。 她不太记得进入流水屋之前的事情，当她的叔叔突然在土匪袭击中丧生时，她因失去与契约契约之外的生活的联系而感到震惊。

没有家人，没有靠山，雪面临着一生为贵族弹琴的奴役，贵族们一口气称赞她的才华，下一口气嘲笑她卑微的社会地位。 一天晚上，她意外地被叫到花园，为神秘的孟公表演一场私人表演。 这个年轻人对贵族来说出奇的友善和尴尬，他提出了一个不可抗拒的提议，让雪更加惊讶：在他的庄园里担任一年的常驻音乐家，并且他将免除她的契约。

但当公爵和薛在噩梦般的怪物袭击中勉强幸存时，公爵的动机变得越来越可疑，当他把她带到他的庄园时，她发现他不仅仅是某个乡村贵族：他是梦想公爵，神圣的之一 天界的统治者。 在那里，她得知六界正处于灾难的边缘，妖兽的入侵也越来越频繁。

公爵需要薛的帮助来解开她过去的记忆，这些记忆可以找到如何阻止即将到来的战争的答案……但一开始，薛需要成为六界中所有怪物和神灵的目标，生存下来。

Uncover the dark past of the celestials in this melodic tale inspired by Chinese mythology and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca.

Filled with rich imagery and delicate poetry, the Song of the Six Realms will echo long after the tune has ended.

Xue, a talented young musician, has no past and probably no future. Orphaned at a young age, her kindly poet uncle took her in and arranged for an apprenticeship at one of the most esteemed entertainment houses in the kingdom. She doesn’t remember much from before entering the House of Flowing Water, and when her uncle is suddenly killed in a bandit attack, she is devastated to lose her last connection to a life outside of her indenture contract.

With no family and no patron, Xue is facing the possibility of a lifetime of servitude playing the qin for nobles that praise her talent with one breath and sneer at her lowly social status with the next. Then one night she is unexpectedly called to the garden to put on a private performance for the enigmatic Duke Meng. The young man is strangely kind and awkward for nobility, and surprises Xue further with an irresistible offer: serve as a musician in residence at his manor for one year, and he’ll set her free of her indenture.

But the Duke’s motives become increasingly more suspect when he and Xue barely survive an attack by a nightmarish monster, and when he whisks her away to his estate, she discovers he’s not just some country noble: He’s the Duke of Dreams, one of the divine rulers of the Celestial Realm. There she learns the Six Realms are on the brink of disaster, and incursions by demonic beasts are growing more frequent.

The Duke needs Xue’s help to unlock memories from her past that could hold the answers to how to stop the impending war… but first Xue will need to survive being the target of every monster and deity in the Six Realms.
