THE END OF HER JOURNEY IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING…

And then the real trouble starts. Kaylin’s assignment is to be a “harmoniste”—one who helps tell the truth behind a Barrani Recitation. But in a land where words are more effective than weapons, Kaylin’s duties are deadly. With the wrong phrase she could tear a people further asunder. And with the right ones…well, then she might be able to heal a blight on a race.

This is for Mr. Liebgott, Ms. Gann, Ms. Evans,
Maggie Fehlberg, teachers all.
My teachers.
