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.

One of my favorite stories by Robin McKinley. Narrator was amazing. This story stays with me through the years be it re-reading a printed version or re-listening to the audiobook. A reminder to be yourself and whatever it is that you can do, do it.

A favorite I keep going back to over the years

This story is more enjoyable to read than listen to because of the narrator's breathy almost little girl's voice. The narrator makes the main character seem a helpless and slightly pathetic character, though I don't think that is what the author intended.

A light fantasy romance not helped by the narrator

Lovely reading of one of my all time favorite books! Chalice is a graceful country tale that wanders from place to place until it comes to the end and you realize the path you have been traveling was as straight as it could be in order to reach the end. As full of magic and mystery as Marisol's honey, Chalice is a joy.

So happy to see this in audio.
