Toren the Teller's Flight — Shevi Arnold

Have you ever been swept away by a story? If you have, you know the magic of the storyteller--and you know that magic is real. That is seventeen-year-old Toren's magic . . . but is she brave enough to accept the power that lies within her? 


In book one, TOREN THE APPRENTICE'S TALE, Toren tells her younger sister a story that reveals why she, Toren, wakes only at night; what causes her almost constant pain; and above all, why--after completing her apprenticeship--she has decided not to become a wizard.



Book two, TOREN THE TELLER'S FLIGHT, continues her story, as she grows into a young woman and learns to deal with the monster whose true name is forever carved into her soul.

Through her darkest years, Toren finds solace and strength in the stories she tells. But her greatest tale is not yet finished. Together with Noa, she sets out on a new adventure. And in the end, she must choose: will she continue to cling to her dream of an ordinary life, or will she dare to let her own magic shine? 


TOREN: THE TELLER'S TALE is more than an inspirational fantasy. It is a philosophical tale about the enchantment of literature, because in Toren's parallel world there is no greater power than the magic of storytelling.
