Genre: book, fairy tale, fantasy, identity, love story, magic, Though both the Master and Marisol are untrained and lack the confidence of their people, they strive to save Willowlands from being taken over by the Overlord, who would add to his own power by setting up a puppet Master in place of the rightful heir. ![]() ![]() The new master is an elemental priest, called back to humanity and Willowlands from the burning fires of his order. To add to her troubles, Willowlands has been badly managed by the previous Master, who died when the previous Chalice died. She is deeply connected her land, though, and determined to succeed, though she has no one to tell her how a Chalice's magic should work.
