Publisher Description

From the World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Bards of Bone Plain.

Something half-woke in him, and he froze on the threshold, seeing misshapen faces billow in the flames.

As a child, Rook had been taken in by the bards of Luly, and raised as one of their own. Of his past he knew nothing—except faint memoires of fire and death that he'd do anything to forget.

But nightmares, and a new threat to the island that had become his own, would not let him escape the dreadful fate of his true family. Haunted by the music of the bards, he left the only home he knew to wander the land of the power-hungry Basilisk who had destroyed his family. And perhaps, finally, to find a future in the fulfillment of his forgotten destiny...

Song for the Basilisk

This is a very good fantasy book. There is a good plot that satisfies the happy ever after desires, but the outstanding thing, what makes me love her books is the use of language. Sometimes it is like poetry, lovely words put together in new ways to form beautiful mind pictures. The story is set in a land she has created and it is created with loving craft. I always want to draw her written images. The man, in search of his identity, as he moves about in her world is well written. Well worth reading.
