Kate Constable's lyrical, acclaimed fantasy debut--now in paperback!Calwyn has never been beyond the high ice-wall that guards the sisters of Antaris from the world of Tremaris. She knows only the rounds of her life as a novice ice priestess, tending her bees, singing her ice chantments, and dreaming. But then Calwyn befriends Darrow, a mysterious Outlander who appears inside the Wall and warns of an approaching danger. To help Darrow, to see the world, and perhaps to save it, Calwyn will leave the safety of the Wall for a journey with a man she barely knows--and an adventure as beautiful and dangerous as the music of chantment itself.

Loved it! Reminds me of the Pellinor series which is one of my favorites, both of which are fantasies with bardic type magic. I can't wait to see the relationship grow between Calwyn and Darrow.

Quite respectable fantasy. Not sure I’ll ever re-read it, but it wasn’t bad. I definitely sense a series coming on though. [July 2008]
