Finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings after the trauma of her mother's death and the battle with the Council to find a new place for herself in the community, Kira is anxious and cannot sleep.  She first fingers the pendant her mother had always worn, which Kira now wears around her neck.  Lifting it...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Council of Guardians summons Kira because they want to employ her skills with a needle and thread in order to repair the Singer’s cloak. At first, Kira is afraid to go to the council because she is worried that they have called her regarding her dispute with a neighbor following her mother’s death. Once she arrives, it becomes clear that the council will provide for Kira as long as she completes her task. As we follow Kira’s...]]></description>
