Game of Thrones
meets
The Name of the Wind
in this exuberant, character-driven epic fantasy. Every year, prophecy leaves fall from the Yubriy Tree. And every year, the Dayborn king sends his most trusted servants to collect the leaves and return them to the capital. Only this year, one of the leaves drifted into the forest unseen. Three lives will be forever changed by the undetected prophecy leaf. The strong-willed daughter of a powerful family. The mysterious and reviled half brother of the king. And a talented but unlucky musician, desperate to write the song that will bring him good fortune. Looming in the background are reports of the first dragon to appear in Ragar Or in over sixty-five years. And, as anyone familiar with Ragar Or's history knows, when dragons appear, royalty dies.
