For centuries, humanity has fought dragons in a war to eradicate their evil from the land. Alísa, daughter of a slayer chief, was already kept from the line of succession by her vocal stutter, and matters only worsen when her empathic powers are revealed to connect uncontrollably to the dragon enemy. But when her growing powers reveal a dragon’s belief in the Maker, Alísa wonders if the tales of their fallen souls are even true. Now she must make the most important decision of her life: remain with her clan in comfortable silence, or find her voice to end the unjust war between the races. A young adult epic fantasy, Songflight and its sequel Stormdance look at themes of friendship, justice and mercy, and following God’s calling no matter the difficulties.
