An extraordinary work ... ~ William Peter Blatty Captures the tragedy of romantic and familial love better than any story I have ever read. ~ Janeiro Bento. ... Hear the twilight song of Kestrel. He has not always been this night-winged angel. He was once a star, a guitar star so righteous. He was once a sweet boy in love. In The Beginning were two grassroots singers, The Brothers Brass. In The End there is no end to what one wounded girls heart will give. And no end to what one brother will give for the other. Raised in Savannah by the sea, together, The Brothers Brass voices chime like heavenly bells. The oldest brother Kestrel falls in love with a girl named Bettilia, a wild child who hides in the treetops-hiding from her bad daddy on a ghostly mountain called Riddle Top. Soon all the Family Brass falls for Bettilia. She touches Kestrel, she touches everyone. And they touch sweet Bettilia, forever. Then comes that fateful day when Kestrel says I do to his dance with the devil, his devil within and without.
