The Music Mage by Sandra Miller

When powerful and charismatic painter Lord Malrec brings newly-unemployed music teacher Alannys Gale to Ravanmark, it seems to be the answer to her prayers. Ravanmark is a fantasy world where music is magic, where the gods are the Greek Muses, and where an ancient sword of fabled power awaits a legendary hero. It’s like a beautiful fairy tale.

But it keeps trying to kill her.

An instant, strange connection with the Crown Prince makes life more complicated. Everyone from the queen to the peasants want her dead. It’s hard to imagine a worse way to start a romance.

In a land with magic whose true power is lost in the mists of time, an ordinary woman must save the world…to save herself.
