As the sole child of a powerful slayer chief, Alísa’s position as heir to the clan should have been certain. She may one day overcome her persistent vocal stammer, but she also holds a terrible secret. Her empathic powers uncontrollably connect to the dragon enemy, forcing her to feel their pain as they die. No slayer clan will ever follow a woman with a dragon inside her. When a grueling killing ceremony reveals her shame, her fate is sealed—she will marry her father’s apprentice, and he will be chief rather than she.

Dragons, slayers, and one girl's mysterious powers. Alísa has finally started developing her psychic power of empathy, 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.
