HONOUR BOOK: CBCA Book of the Year, Older Readers, 2003 Calwyn couldn't trust her eyes when she saw the unconscious stranger lying inside the great Wall of ice. Somehow he had defied the magical chantments. But was he a dangerous sorcerer, or just an injured man in need of healing? The Outlander's eyes flew open, and he began to sing . Calwyn lives safely among the priestesses of Antaris, caring for her bees and dreaming of the mysterious world beyond the Wall. But then comes Darrow, who tells her of the fear and hatred that hold sway in the Outlands, where the magic arts of chantment are disappearing. Defying the Head Priestess, Calwyn follows Darrow on a dangerous journey that takes them the length and breadth of Tremaris, to places more strange and wondrous than she could ever have imagined, and to a final terrifying encounter with the evil sorcerer Samis who seeks to master all Nine Powers of chantment for himself. 'What a charming, captivating book! Kate Constable writes with such grace and clarity that she stands out from the pack . One of the most enjoyable fantasies I've read in a long time.' SARA DOUGLASS
