Charles de Lint
The Harp of the Grey Rose
Mass Market Paperback
(Firebird Jan. 19, 2004)
The compelling and powerful first novel from World Fantasy Award winner Charles de Lint!
He is the Songweaver, but before he was a master of song he was merely Cerin of Wran Cheaping—a seventeen-year-old orphan raised by a wildland witch. Then he encountered the Maid of the Grey Rose—the lone survivor of the war that devastated the Trembling Lands and the promised bride of Yarac Stone-Slayer, the feared and terrible Waster. The mysterious beauty captured Cerin's heart, drawing him into a world both dark and deadly, until armed with only a tinkerblade and the magic of song, he would take on a man's challenge . . . and choose a treacherous path toward a magnificent destiny.
"Charles de Lint is one of the most gifted storytellers writing fantasy today."—Locus
