Penguin Young Readers has offered another fabulous book giveaway, this time for the book Chalice by Robin McKinley. This book is for the teen audience and I’ll be giving a paperback advanced reader copy to three of my lucky readers.
Here’s more information about this book directly from Penguin:
As the newly appointed Chalice, Mirasol is the most important member of the Master’s Circle. It is her duty to bind the Circle, the land and its people together with their new Master. But the new Master of Willowlands is a Priest of Fire, only drawn back into the human world by the sudden death of his brother. No one knows if it is even possible for him to live amongst his people. Mirasol wants the Master to have his chance, but her only training is as a beekeeper. How can she help settle their demesne during these troubled times and bind it to a Priest of Fire, the touch of whose hand can burn human flesh to the bone?
Robin McKinley weaves a captivating tale that reveals the healing power of duty and honor, love and honey.
Praise:

“This novel is a delight…teens will find themselves drinking in this rich fairy tale as if it were honey trickling down their throats.” –School Library Journal
“…a narrative that is a sensory delight, laden with tangible tastes and scents.” –Booklist
