<br/><br/> The celebrated opera singer Lo Svizzero was born in a belfry in the Swiss Alps  where his mother served as the keeper of the loudest and most beautiful bells in the land. As a boy he possessed an extraordinary gift for sound. But when his preternatural hearing was discovered -- along with its power to expose the sins of the church -- young Moses Froben was cast out of his village with only his ears to guide him in a world fraught with danger.  Rescued by two traveling Monks, his adventures begin, taking him on a journey to Europe's opera houses and a secret in his pass is revealed.
