Songs in the Night: Book One in the Song Giver Series

What would they do if I screamed...if the force of my voice ripped these walls to shreds?

Thirteen years have passed since five-year-old Eris crossed the border into Omaria, finding shelter among a wary band of drifters. But Sithian slaves are branded like cattle, and the scars across her palms serve only to alienate her from the people she once trusted for protection.

After word reaches the forest of a violent Sithian attack in the northern regions, and fearful rumors of sorcery hum on the air, Eris is blamed when a night of violent sickness sweeps through camp. Forced to flee for her life into unfamiliar land, Eris once again finds herself at the mercy of cruel men.

Captured by traders and imprisoned in a cage, she determines to do whatever it takes to protect a fragile, sick woman chained to the bars. But as they draw close to the border and hope of escape fades, a frightening power rises within Eris, fueled by the bitter grief warring in her heart.

The scars across her palms burn, and Eris fears she may be becoming the very thing the king's knights vow to destroy:

A diavok cursed for evil.
