From back cover:
Terra Viridian is a young woman who obeyed a vision, took a laser assault rifle, and turned fifteen hundred innocent people into light. She was captured, convicted, and sentenced to the orbital prison callet the Underworld. Forever.
Seven years later a bar-band pianist named The Magician suddenly plays Bach while a riot burns around him. The Queen of Hearts, a drifter who hides her life beneath a golden mask, steps enigmatically from the shadows.
Underworld prison administrator Jase Klyos unexpectedly lets a concert bring sound to his silent, sterile hell. And behind her mad eyes, the vision of a psychotic killer . . . changes.
The thing that Terra Viridian saw is coming, growing, watching---and it must be set free.
Patricia McKillip has also written the well-known RIDDLE MASTER OF HED series; also OD MAGIC, THE WINTER ROSE, THE FORGOTTEN BEASTS OF ELD, and other fantasy novels.
