About Dawnsinger

The owl is a symbol of desolation in many cultures, including the Bible. To the native American Tsalagi, however, it's a being with the special power to bridge the gap between life and death, exemplified by its ability to glide through the darkness safely, missing trees and finding prey in the night. Dawnsinger is the special name my mother gave me.
