Some girls talk to animals. Mia can hear their souls.
In the quiet village of Tecura, thirteen-year-old Mia has always felt different. Animals seem drawn to her-and somehow, she can feel their sorrow, joy, even fear. When a mysterious prophecy is spoken over her during her naming ceremony, Mia’s life changes forever. She is no ordinary girl. She is the Soul Whisperer.
A village of hollow-eyed adults, a hidden army of enchanted vultures, and the haunting red stones they mine are all tied to a name whispered in fear: Lord Serillion. If Mia wants to uncover the truth about her past-and protect the future of a kingdom-she must seek out the mythical creature. Will Mia discover who she is and, in the process, save a village from a rising darkness?
