The Rail Singer

By: Hoffmann, Michelle

In 1850s America, one woman tapped a key and summoned a dragon's road.

The year is 1851. The railroads stretch across the American frontier, carrying the promise of progress-and the whispers of something older. Beneath the hammer of steel and the hiss of steam, the rails begin to hum with a hidden song.

Leprechauns hear profit in the rhythm, scratching contracts in ledgers that bend destiny. Dragons feel the call of motion and fire, hungry for roads of flame. And the Council of Cats, golden-eyed keepers of memory, watch in silence.

When Nora Kincaid, a quiet telegraph operator, answers the rails with her own rhythm, she sparks a conflict that greed, magic, and fire have waited centuries to unleash. Armed with nothing but her telegraph key, a stubborn heart, and a watchful cat at her side, Nora must outwit tricksters, balance ledgers of power, and forge a pact with a dragon whose hunger could either save the world-or consume it.

Full of atmosphere, magic, and myth woven into the grit of 19th-century America, The Rail-Singer is a spellbinding tale of rhythm, rebellion, and the courage to write a new verse when the old one burns.

Perfect for fans of historical fantasy, mythic retellings, and stories where ordinary women stand against extraordinary odds.
