Chalice
As the newly appointed Chalice, Mirasol is the most important member of the Master’s Circle. It is her duty to bind the Circle, the land and its people together with their new Master. But the new Master of Willowlands is a Priest of Fire, only drawn back into the human world by the sudden death of his brother. No one knows if it is even possible for him to live amongst his people.
Mirasol wants the Master to have his chance, but her only
training is as a beekeeper. How can she help settle their demesne during these troubled times and bind it to a Priest of Fire, the touch of
whose hand can burn human flesh to the bone?
A captivating tale that reveals the healing power of duty and honour, love and honey.
