In The Voice and the Mind, the fourth and final book of the Shapewalker's Song series, Sumi is finally heading home. After reaching the fountain of Essomuai, she freed Vilodai and received a strange and powerful necklace. But is it as powerful - and as dangerous - as the stones once wielded by the great Southern Emperor? Now, as she makes her way west with Erso and Parimu, there's no telling what awaits her. Berill is full of enemies, and Vice Peer Pont'dulairn is still fighting Queen Welaya for power. Sumi desperately wants to change her people, to build a bridge between Shapewalkers and humans, but will anyone listen? Join her, and discover why one beta reader called this, 'the ending Sumi always deserved.'
