When life deals him an unexpected blow, freelance music journalist Noah Van Owen decides to leave his New York home for the backwoods and bayous of Louisiana in search of a man named Lafayette Valentin.
He knows nothing about the stranger who inadvertently set in motion the events that turned his life upside-down . . . nothing but the man's name, an address, and the fact that he is a music prodigy, a gifted artist capable of playing any instrument like he was casting a spell.
What Noah doesn't know is that Lafayette Valentin—known in his remote hometown in the deep south as "Lovesong"—is blind, trapped and heartbroken . . . and determined to make a deal with the Devil himself.
As two men stand at a crossroads in their lives, will their destinies intersect? Will one of them sell his soul while the other loses his to grief and despair? Or will Noah learn to dance once again . . . in the arms of a Boy Called Lovesong?
