Dragons, slayers, and one girl's mysterious powers.Alísa, thirteen-year-old daughter of a dragon-slayer chief, has finally started developing her psychic power of empathy, but all her excitement for this step toward womanhood died when her headaches began. It was hard enough to stay dignified before the clan with her vocal stammer—with the struggle against their pounding emotions, her long-anticipated empathic gift has felt more like a curse.Slowly, Alísa has learned how to block certain emotions and accept others, growing in her psychic strength as every slayer must. But when the excitement of the clan’s ceremonies is drowned out by foreign sorrow, rage, and fear, Alísa and her father discover there is more to her developing empathy than they’d initially thought—a mystery that may one day condemn her in the eyes of the clan.This short story is set four years before Songflight, the first book in the Dragon Singer Chronicles.
