Summary: In Cheryl Kaye Tardif's heart-wrenching Whale Song, haunting native legends merge with the modern world as two cultures collide, and a young woman struggles with long-forgotten memories of her mother's suicide.

Some things are easier to forget. But now a familiar voice from her past sends Sarah, a talented mid-twenties ad exec, back to her past. A past that she had thought was long buried. Some things are meant to be buried. Torn by nightmares and visions of a yellow-eyed wolf, yet aided by the creatures of the Earth and by the killer whales that call to her in the night, Sarah must face her fears and uncover the truth―even if it destroys her. Some things are meant to be remembered―at all cost.

As a new student, Princess Averi has dangerous combat classes to pass, the nobility to please, and on top of all that, her roommate is the menacing Wisteria Ling, the best combat caster of all the first-year students. Luckily, the two soon befriend Rai Ravin, a Thief major who might just be charming enough to talk his way out of anything. Along with Fell, a farm-boy attempting the Warrior major, these four will learn how to fight, how to use magic, and how to survive being an adventurer...
