As the sole child of a powerful slayer chief, Alsa's position as heir to the clan should have been certain. But while she may one day overcome her persistent vocal stammer to lead them, but she also holds a terrible secret. Her empathic powers uncontrollably connect to the dragon enemy, forcing her to feel their pain as they die. No slayer clan will ever follow a woman with a dragon inside her.
When a grueling killing ceremony reveals her shame, her fate is sealed-she will marry her father's apprentice, and he will be chief rather than she. But when her growing powers reveal one dragon's capacity for goodness, Alsa is left with terrible questions.
Are dragons soulless, as the slayers preach?
Is the war between their races truly just?
The clan will no longer listen to her, so now Alsa must choose-remain with her people in silence, or follow the dragon claiming to know her true purpose.
A heart-filled adventure for fans of McCaffrey's Harper Hall trilogy, Ciccarelli's The Last Namsara, and the How To Train Your Dragon movies. Check it out if you like:
