Enigmatic and suspicious of outsiders, the Tufa live quiet lives in the hills and valleys of Cloud County. While their origins may be a mystery, there are hints of their true nature buried in the songs they have passed down for generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBronwyn Hyatt, a pure-blood Tufa, has always insisted on doing things her own way, regardless of the consequences. Even though Tufa rarely leave Cloud County, she enlisted in the Army to escape the pressures of Tufa life--her family, her obligations as a First Daughter, and her dangerous ex-boyfriend. But after barely surviving a devastating ambush that killed most of her fellow soldiers, Private Hyatt returns to Cloud County wounded in body and in spirit. But danger lurks in the mountains and hollows of her childhood home. Cryptic omens warn of impending tragedy, and a restless \"haint\" lurks nearby, waiting to reveal Bronwyn's darkest secrets. Worst of all, Bronwyn has lost touch with the music that was once a vital part of her identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Bronwyn finds the greatest battle to be right here at home, where her obligations struggle with her need for freedom, and if she makes the wrong choice, the consequences could be deadly for all the Tufa. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A sheer delight.\"--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, \u003c\/i\u003e starred review \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnter the captivating world of the fae in Alex Bledsoe's Tufa novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hum and the Shiver\u003cbr\u003eWisp of a Thing\u003cbr\u003eLong Black Curl\u003cbr\u003eChapel of Ease\u003cbr\u003eGather Her Round\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALEX BLEDSOE is the critically-acclaimed author of the Tufa novels \u003ci\u003eThe Hum and the Shiver, Wisp of a Thing, Long Black Curl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChapel of Ease, and Gather Her Round\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the Eddie LaCrosse series: \u003ci\u003eThe Sword-Edged Blonde, Dark Jenny, Burn Me Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHe Drank, and Saw the Spider\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544002597138,"sku":"9780765327444","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3751501c-efd6-42e9-acd0-41f67d493a39.jpg?v=1731518245","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hum-and-the-shiver-a-novel-of-the-tufa-9780765327444","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
