Despite her misgivings, child psychologist Lynn McLeod can't ignore the plea to help ten-year-old Jilly Asche, the daughter of her ex-husband, Stephen. But immediately upon her return to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, Lynn is drawn subtly into the lives of everyone in the secluded household: Stephen, now an enigmatic stranger; Julian, a mesmerizing family friend who challenges Lynn's ideas of life and death; and Jilly, the beautiful lost child burdened by a terrifying and deadly secret.

The danger that threatens both Stephen and his daughter soon closes tightly around Lynn. And all the while, the soft, hypnotic sound in the wind—the eerie yet beautiful music of the Singing Stones—lures Lynn into a realm of mystery, murder, and dormant passion … and perhaps to the key to her own destiny.
