The Dragonwarden's Apprentice
On Tuesdays, Tess and Zachary bring the flour down the river path. Zachary grew up at the abbey too, a year behind Lainey.
A Tale of Wending Vale
The Song in the Cloth
Twelve-year-old Lainey hardly ever speaks. She reads, she crochets, and she plays every instrument in the abbey. When a flood breaks open a wall that has been sealed for three hundred years, she finds knotted cords that turn out to be music, and a secret the Guild would rather burn.
Each book stands on its own. Read the three in any order.
The Song in the ClothA Tale of Wending Vale
The artwork for this book is still being painted. The knot will have to do for now.
Where it happens
The abbey by the river: the record room above the gatehouse, the chapel and its old organ, the orchard, and the wash steps down to the water. Places from this book are marked with the knot on the map of the Vale.
Where it crosses the other two
The three Tales of Wending Vale happen in the same valley, in the same autumn. If you spot a friend from another book walking past in this one, you're not imagining it.
Not Till Seventeen
Every morning the mail coach's horn sounds across the water meadows, and every morning Lainey answers it from the gatehouse window.
See how the three stories line up in One autumn, three stories, and who turns up where in Who's who.
