Product Description
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

Krista (Canada) (2010/08/10):
I found a very old, battered copy of this book in a small little store on a campground. The cover is much different than shown here, but it caught the eye of the 11 year old me. 15 years, over a dozen moves accross Canada, 5 years in University, etc... later and I still get shivers reading it. Maybe because it was the first fantasy book I'd ever read. Maybe because De Lint can weave a tale so well that I can't seem to let go of it. It's a beautiful tale that will draw you in.
