Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Albrecht
It was music of this sort, more sweet than words might tell, faint on the air as the breath Of a sigh or yet again swelling full and strong as a blast from the horns when the hunt is rushing through the wood, that had Of late been heard around the castle. Delicious, enervating, seductive and yet pleading, the strange melodies had seemed to surround the towers, as if throngs of invisible musicians floated in the air to bring their heavenly minstrelsy to the Countess Erna. There had indeed been more than one token that something mysterious was forward in the forest; and although the priest of Rittenberg frowned upon all talk Of the wood - spirits and their doings, the folk of the castle whispered under their breath many a wild surmise.
