Winds Rising

By B.A. Silverman

BOOK I: Tamsen Fairchild's wardship by the Sleeping God sect means he can never immerse himself in the music he loves except by sneaking off to the woods to imitate bird songs on his homemade whistle. When he is chosen to go with his Patriarch to visit a sect in the city of Savia, he runs off to explore. He is drawn by the most beautiful music he has ever heard coming from a tavern, where a man plays a strange instrument. Enthralled, Tam closes his eyes and tries to imitate the tones on his whistle. When the music stops, he looks up into the eyes of Jon the Minstrel, who insists that Tam has a Bardic Gift and must be trained at the Magika school. He asks a Windrider friend to fly Tam there on kirback. Tam's excitement is more than he can bear. Not only will he learn to produce the music in his heart, but he will fly there on a magical winged beast! His world is expanding beyond his wildest hope. Little does he realize how very large that world will be.
