Rhapsody Symphony of Ages #1 Elizabeth Haydon Tor Books 1999
Rhapsody is a woman, a Singer of some talent, who is swept up into events of world-shattering import.
On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half-breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time.
Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage, one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.
