James Morgan and his friend Deirdre start school at Thornking-Ash, a boarding school for the musically talented. James is a piper, he plays the bag pipes. He's the best piper in the state.
When James meets Nuala (so she calls herself), a leanan sidhe (lan-an-shee), he finds that he feels more creative when she's around. She's basically a muse-faery.
James and her are getting to know each other and he's still in love with Dee, but he's warming up to Nuala and falling in love later. When he's not cracking jokes, he's getting into trouble or dealing with fey...okay, not exactly, but something like that. Nuala know she has to burn on Halloween in order to live, so she's not sure weather she needs to steal years from James or not, so she resists her urge to do so. James is working on a short play about a magician, called Ballad. He's letting Nuala direct it. Though she cannot create, she's always dreamed to direct and she's very good a inspiring his actors to do well.
Dee is later kidnapped and she's going to be used to make the faerie queen, Eleanor's consort the king of the dead. Nuala wants to be human. James lets her burn in the bonfire and says her true name seven times...but he has to go save Dee. I really can't tell you the rest. Just know that with James being the main character this time, it was so freakin' funny, I couldn't stop laughing. I seriously recommend this book. It only took me 2 day to read it though it's 352 pages long.
