Friends, family, his freedom-he loses it all to Singers and their dark song magic. Human in appearance, Singers are a different species. Their powers only fail against the demons hunting them. But even this flaw has a patch: humans with a rare and valuable \"trait\". It allows Singers to take over their voice and use it like a weapon.
