Book Description

Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them â€˜til theyâ€™ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, â€˜til the hour. You wonâ€™t speak and you wonâ€™t tell, you wonâ€™t call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldnâ€™t speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would sell his soul and lose his son to the sky. My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my motherâ€™s words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free. But freedom will require escape, and Iâ€™m a prisoner of my motherâ€™s curse and my fatherâ€™s greed. I canâ€™t speak or make a sound, and I canâ€™t wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?
