The Singer of all Songs


Do you ever feel like there's more to your life than just where you've been? Have you ever given into your sense of adventure and followed your curiosity? Would the possibility that magic could come from singing ever have occurred in your mind? All of these questions come together to tell the story The Singer of all Songs by Kate Constable. Containing endless adventure, magic, and the escape from an evil hunter, this book has plenty for everyone.

Ever since she was a little babe, Calwyn has never left the protective ice walls surrounding her home of Antaris. In less than a year, she would be recognized as a full priestess, and her power would increase so that she can serve her Goddess. But when she finds an Outlander lying on the inside the sheer ice walls, she cannot help but stop her strengthening of the walls and take him to he infirmary. Soon she learns his name is Darrow and is trying to run from a restless attacker, who wants nothing more that to master all of the ancient magics, along with the life of Darrow. When he intrudes Antaris, Calwyn helps Darrow to escape through the river that flows under the barrier walls, then follows her panic and ends up in the river- even though she can't swim. Suddenly she is swept along with the current, not to mention an entirely new adventure, and will face more that just an unusual Outsider. Soon she is making new friends, learning new chantments,or spells, and even battling pirates, not to mention all while running for her life. Can she outlive her pursuer?

This is a great book worth checking out, because if you're anything like me, then you know how great it is to read about other worlds full of magic and mystery. Constable sure knows how to keep you reading, and I guarantee that you'll be rushing to the nearest store or library just so you can get the next book in the trilogy.

So, can Calwyn overcome her fear of the water and learn to swim? Or will she never get the chance because of the evil sorcerer following her? Is she even more unique than her fellow sisters at Antaris thought she was? Read The Singer of all Songs by Kate Constable and you just may learn a few other things along the way.
