  Summary

  It's time for a new generation of Brotherband members to arise.

  Erika Starfollower, the grandaughter of Erak, has always yearned to become the first woman to become a brotherband skirl. To change the minds of Hallasholm, Erak brings back Hal out of his early retirement to train Erika in being a skirl. At the same time, Lydia and Ingvar have to deal with their son, Dirk, bucking expectations set on him by the greater Hallasholm society. Erika and Dirk are going to have to work together in order to make it through brotherband training all while staying true to who they are.
