Lyranel's song

the long version

Lyranel has never thought much about singing. Her mother had been a famous singer years ago, but she died when Lyranel was very young. Since then, Lyranel's father, the Duke of Trioste, has banned all Singers from his Duchy. Those that remain live in secret, Singing their Songs of healing and life. When Lyranel awakens upon her twelfth birthday bursting with Song, she is horrified and tries to hide her new gift from her father. Worse still, a terrible plague threatens her land and the Singers that remain. Lyranel must learn to come terms with her new talent. If not, her land and her people may not survive.
