Items related to Chalice
The earthlines speak to Mirasol, but her family has lived in the demesne for centuries, and many of the old families can hear the land. She knows that the violent deaths of the last Master and Chalice have thrown Willowlands into turmoil; but she is only a beekeeper, and the problems of the Circle that govern Willowlands have nothing to do with her--although she wonders what will become of her demesne, because the Master and Chalice left no heirs to carry on their crucial duties. And then the Circle come to Mirasol, to tell her that she has been chosen to be the new Chalice; and the Master she must learn to work with is a Priest of Fire, a man no longer quite human, whose touch can burn human flesh to the bone.

Review:
"A high fantasy as perfectly shaped and eloquently told as Beauty and The Hero and the Crown...a lavish and lasting treat." -Publishers Weekly "McKinley writes with complete assurance, and the novel's climax is both compelling and a delightful change from formulaic fantasy." -The Christian Science Monitor "As delicately structure as the chambers of a honeycomb, this novel begs to be read...[Readers] who long for beautiful phrases and descriptive writing will find themselves drinking in this rich fairy tale as if it were honey trickling down their throats." -School Library Journal "McKinley integrates the world-building smoothly into a narrative that is a sensory delight, laden with tangible tastes and scents. Themes of stewardship, beekeeping and the power of duty and love flow through the story like the honey described so temptingly." -Booklist
