Song in the Silence

From the flaps of the Tor first edition: "Lanen Kaelar has spent her life being told just how wrongheaded and foolish she is: first by a bitter father who tells her she won't find a husband because she's too big, too strong, too plain, and then by relatives who tell her she's a dreamer with her head in the clouds. Upon her father's death, Lanen chooses to search out the great dragons she has dreamed of all her life. She will travel dangerous roads, cross tempestuous seas, and evade enemies, both human and otherwise. What she seeks may not be real. And if it is, it may be dangerous for all. For those who hold the true power of the world know that prophecies have been told of Lanen Kaelar since before her birth. The fear the destiny she may fulfill, the mysteries she may unravel, and the strange and terrifying love she may find on the legendary Dragon Isle."
