Book jacket summary: In 2113, Michru and Roidy forcibly landed on a strange land and lost their way. One night, they followed the music Roidy heard and saw a mystical elderly man. The man told them of a city ahead. If they wanted to be admitted, they needed to tell the keeper they were guided by the god and wanted to see the queen. Therefore they went to an isolated city in the forest, where people never died in the a hundred years. Then a murder happened. The truth lay behind the history of the city, the origin of the queen and the residents and the past of Michru.
Review: I love secret, intrigue and slow reveal so I am deeply attracted by this book. The author successfuly creates an unsettling and creepy atmosphere , and the narrator knew much more than the readers. The crime itself is not complex, but the reavel still seems surprising. It encourages me to find his other books.
