Songs tease Lissy. At first they are simple. Simple like wisps on the wind, among the birds, in the fire. Her family, the birds, a dragon, and tree spirits, among others protected in the mountain haven, deepen her understanding of her abilities. They teach her of love and loyalty. They teach her to fight her enemies and to make a difference. But the songs persist as mysteries. They become more complex and increasingly insistent. Enough that Lissy wonders if the barrage of notes will overwhelm her before her enemies do. She must choose to try to ignore the music, heed its guidance, or perhaps even summon strength to create her own unique harmony with the songs. Songs so ancient, so powerful. Will they be a curse or a gift?
