Patricia A. McKillip
The latest "rich, resonant" (Publishers Weekly) fantasy from the World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Bell at Sealey Head. Eager to graduate from the school on the hill, Phelan Cle chose Bone Plain for his final paper because he thought it would be an easy topic. Immortalized by poets and debated by scholars, it was commonly accepted-even at a school steeped in bardic tradition-that Bone Plain, with its three trials, three terrors, and three treasures, was nothing more than a legend, a metaphor. But as his research leads him to the life of Nairn, the Wandering Bard, the Unforgiven, Phelan starts to wonder if there are any easy answers...

"Wow, just an amazing work of fantasy fiction that feels like real history. I really like how the author doesn't explain all the mysterious events and figures in the story. "

"This book is dry and generic as roast made from store brand white bread. The author makes sure the reader knows that all the ladies are pretty and white. I kept checking back to see if the author was a dude b/c all the female characters were characterized primarily by how attractive they were and it only happened once or twice with the guys.<br/>Despite having stock characters and a basic plot the book was hard to read because it was very difficult to keep the sets of characters from different time periods straight."
