An exquisite fantasy adventure set in a desert country. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Harry Crewe is an orphan girl who comes to live in Damar, the desert country shared by the Homelanders and the secretive, magical Hillfolk. Her life is quiet and ordinary — until the night she is kidnapped by Corlath, the Hillfolk King, who takes her deep into the desert. She does not know the Hillfolk language; she does not know why she has been chosen. But Corlath does. Harry is to be trained in the arts of war until she is a match for any of his men. Does she have the courage to accept her true fate? Review:"McKinley's spare and eloquent prose is sheer delight...a compelling portrait of the vibrant, wryly humorous Harry." School Library Journal Synopsis:Harry, bored with her sheltered life in the remote orange-growing colony of Daria, discovers magic in herself when she is kidnapped by a native king with mysterious powers.
