Dissonant Song
The students of House Orozco have their hero and its Vivian Hampton. For the first time in seventeen years, they can walk the halls of the Pioneer Academy with their heads held high.
Except Vivian has problems of her own. Apparently, having the bardic voice means you’re an oracle as well, which translates into having visions. Except they don’t make any sense, alternating between terrorizing her and actually being helpful—and why does that wolf keep appearing in them? Meanwhile the students from House Duke are doing their best to maintain their position as top house in the school with their sly and sudden attacks. To make matters worse, her henchwoman seems to be vacillating between trying to get her picture in the paper again and having a meltdown. To make everything just a bit weirder, Castillo, the snowman she brought to life seems to see her as a goddess thinking she’s got the answers to all of life’s questions.
Trying to get through her first day of classes is proving to be an adventure all its own.
Terrance doesn’t know what he is, and the Merlin’s guide has charged him with defending the area. But the important thing is that he has friends for the first time in his, well, second life. His resources consist of a beginner’s wand, a snowman, a librarian, and a retired warrior.
Then, there’s the thought in the ground which is becoming stronger by the hour.
Dissonant Song is the second book in the Avalon Awakening series.

About the author
David Hochhalter
13 books109 followersBy day David Hochhalter is an optical engineer who has designed some of the longest terrestrial systems in the world. Since he was given the 2:00am middle of the night idea brain instead of the 9:00am brain, he decided to try writing instead of reading technical manuals. Besides, imaging stories is more fun than reading about amplifiers. His published books are Wandmaking 101, Wandmaking 201 and the Healer’s series starting with Healer’s Awakening. Currently he is working on another series in the same universe.
