Can a silenced slayer find her voice among the dragons? As the sole child of slayer chief Karn, Alísa's position as heir should have been certain. But in addition to the vocal stutter holding her back, she also holds a terrible secret. Her empathic powers connect uncontrollably to dragons, forcing her to feel their pain as they die. The clan would never rally behind a leader influenced by dragons. But when Alísa's growing powers reveal one dragon's goodness, she is left with terrible questions: Are dragons truly soulless as the slayers believe? Is the war between their races justified? And might the dragons actually listen to her where humanity will not? Now Alísa must choose-remain under Karn's care while knowing everything the slayers stand for is built on a lie, or risk death among dragons for a chance to save both her clan and the creatures they've sworn to destroy. A heart-filled adventure perfect for fans of Eragon, Dragonriders of Pern, and the How To Train Your Dragon movies.
