Summerbird Rises

Summerbird Asii has always been an inept seer. Why try to deny it? She's spent her young life hiding her fractured magic, in a land where magic will get you a death sentence faster than any crime.

The last thing she needs is a visit from a gruff griffin with a task.

An evil sorcerer has impaired the magic of several highborn Fey.

He needs her help to rescue them. No, she has no choice. Oh, before he goes-there's also a mystical and mythological entity, hiding from his ancient and malevolent counterpart-he needs help too.

Before she can refuse or even catch her breath, the griffin is fading away.

But his last words will linger in her head, making it impossible to sleep-Would you like to learn your magic?

Summerbird Rises begins the tale of Summerbird, a young seer who fears that her ultimate talent is her appalling inability to be a seer.

But making things up is a decent living, as the last thing she wants is to end up in prison-or executed. And she doesn't want to cross paths with the over armed men that enforced the 'no-magic' law.

When a gruff, wheedling griffin shows up in her cottage, she cannot get rid of him without agreeing to perform a "small" task for him.

Things will never be the same for Summerbird. Follow her as she learns who-and what-she really is and what threatens the magical land where she was born.

Why was she taken away and left in this mundane hell? And why did her grandfather leave her in a non-magical world with a well-used green-crystal ball, and the words, "This is your legacy.

Forget whatever you see in it."
