From the New York Times bestselling author of Sunshine is the Newberry Award–winning classic novel that had enthralled readers for decades.
This is the story of Corlath, golden-eyed king of the Free Hillfolk, son of the sons of the Lady Aerin.
And this is the story of Harry Crewe, the Homelander orphan girl who became Harimand-sol, King's Raider, and heir to the Blue Sword, Gonturan, that no woman had wielded since Lady Aerin herself bore it into battle.
And this is the song of the kelar of the Hillfolk, the magic of the blood, the weaver of destinies ...
"This is a zesty, romantic heroic fantasy with an appealing stalwart heroine, a finely realized mythical kingdom, and a grounding in reality that enhances the tale's verve as a fantasy."—Booklist

      This exciting sequel to The Hero and the Crown is capably rendered by Diane Warren's unvoiced reading, which draws the listener into the harsh landscape of the Damarian hills and desert. Warren's performance transforms young Harry Crewe from Homelander orphan girl into the Lady Hero of the people of Damar. She smoothly turns this illusionary place of magic and demons into a believable world. Young people (and adults) who delight in fantasy literature will thoroughly enjoy this wonderful adventure story which is tinged with just the right amount of romance. (Ages 12 and up.) S.G.
