Hidden deep inside a crystal-filled cavern, a forgotten, luminescent being, the Guardian, waits for their winged kin to come home.

 

For nearly 150 years of dragon banishment the humans have had free reign mining the much-needed energy crystals without the creatures interfering.

 

Tevia, musician and empath recovering from a recently broken heart, nurtures a coveted hope to enter the song trials in the Citie of Towers and be chosen as one of the six to train as a song mage. Her greatest dream is to bring the legendary dragons back to Avar and be their ambassador.

 

In order to compete at the Trials, Tevia must face her doubts and fears. Both in her ability to create songspells and in her capacity to love again.

 

But as Tevia begins to learn how to use the Flow an unfolding of a deeper and more complex mystery draws her into the unexpected.

 

Woven with a unique magical system, original songs, and a vivid, sensory landscape for the adventure-seeking reader, Song of the Mage will satisfy fantasy bibliophiles yearning for emotionally complex characters and a suspenseful, layered plot similar to what fans of Juliet Marillier and Naomi Novik enjoy.
