Elizabeth Kerner is known for a single fantasy trilogy that has attracted a dedicated following. The Tale of Lanen Kaelar begins with Song in the Silence (1996), which introduces Lanen, a farmer’s daughter who travels to the Dragon Isle to meet the True Dragons, sentient beings with their own language, culture, and long history.
The Lesser Kindred (2000) and Redeeming the Lost (2004) continue the story as Lanen’s bond with the dragons draws her into a conflict with sorcerers and dark forces. The trilogy is notable for its treatment of dragons as a fully realized civilization rather than simple monsters, and for the slow, careful development of the relationship between human and dragon characters.
