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.

I came across this book in my school library and decided, "Hey, I have the time, why not?"
I wasn't expecting to spend the next three days with my face buried in it. It's not like it has some huge, epic plot-line with a super surprise ending (in fact, the ending was somewhat sudden and left me with a lot of questions), but I think it was McKillip's imagery and characterization that really got me.

If you really like sci-fi but you don't want something long and complicated like the "Ender's" series, I really suggest reading this. I read it over 4 months ago but I haven't been able to find another book quite as enthralling since.
