about this book: Mya Songspinner is a child prodigy. Her singing voice rivals all others, and her speaking voice can sway anyone to her will. In Mya, the young girl of 13 journeys across the sea to Cerion to compete in His Majesty's Entertainments. If she wins the competition, she'll be awarded more money than she has ever known in her lifetime.

Her father's warnings have always held her back: Never speak unless I say so, never say where you're going, never make alliances because people can't be trusted, stay away from the sea. But Pa leaves her to fend for herself in the hands of strangers, and she's left to wonder whether he'll ever return, or if he's finally admitted to himself how afraid he is of her abilities and decided to leave her for good.

In this coming of age fantasy adventure, Mya crosses a vast sea in a ship of pirates to arrive in Cerion, a kingdom of peace and prosperity, but all is not as it seems. Though joyous on the surface, the kingdom faces a dark threat which has seeped slowly into its underbelly. On her own, can Mya learn to navigate the nuances of court life, impress a prince, and save Cerion from the threat of Sorcery? Read Mya: His Majesty's Elite, to find out!
