They have to learn to work together and care for their demesne, which is still reeling from the sudden loss of the previous Master and Chalice.

Let us have the sweetness now.”īeekeeper Mirasol has recently been chosen as Chalice, the second most powerful person in Willowlands, whose task is to bind the land and its people together. “The last Master and Chalice died ill, and without Heir or apprentice. “It is a strange Mastership and a strange Chalicehood,” he replied.
Another buddy read with Keikii, this time gone much better than the last.
