Music that does magic / The book with a soundtrack
Riley Taylor longs for something exciting, anywhere, anything but his uneventful life at home. To his surprise, he gets exactly that when he stumbles upon someone using magic, or more accurately, playing it on a piano.
Riley's life takes a dramatic turn when he's invited to study at a school for music where he too can learn to play magic with his electric guitar.
But before he can adjust to his new life, Riley and his friends are whisked away on a quest across Canada where they will battle discorded monsters, play magic on their instruments, and hopefully, find the lost songs they seek.
The Song of Hidden Stars features an eleven song soundtrack, linked to with QR codes printed throughout the book so that readers can hear the music characters play.
Each track is mixed with the locational audio of the scene in which it takes place. The soundtrack will release with the book on all streaming platforms on September 24th.
Orders for my book are out now! Grab yourself a copy and let’s get this thing to be a best-seller!
Hey, my name’s Zack
I’m a 23 year old, self-published author who wrote his first book in 2024.
I started writing in 2022 after I rediscovered a childhood love for reading. After finishing series like Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, I decided to write a YA fantasy of my own.
Enter The Song of Hidden Stars … my urban fantasy about music that does magic—debuting as the #1 new release on Amazon.
Currently, I live in Chattanooga Tennessee where I’m developing the sequel to my debut novel!
