![]() ![]() Unfortunately, not very many people - including Mirasol herself - have a lot of confidence in her ability to adequately fill the role of Chalice. If she can't, the consequences will affect the entire demesne, which is already in an unstable condition thanks to the previous Master. Mirasol was a simple beekeeper before she was unexpectedly called upon to take over as the demesne's new Chalice, in which position she must somehow make the transition to a new and not-quite-human Master work smoothly in spite of her own inexperience in the role. Willowlands' Master and his Chalice have recently died under less than pleasant circumstances, and the late Master's younger brother has been called back from his initiation into the priesthood of elemental Fire to take over as the demesne's new Master - to some opposition, since becoming a priest of Fire has left him no longer entirely human. Chalice is a 2008 novel by Robin McKinley, set in the demesne of Willowlands. ![]()
