Items related to The Tenth Power (Chanters of Tremaris)
Kate Constable's magnificent musical trilogy reaches its high note as Calwyn returns to Antaris and discovers the true Singer of All Songs. YA fantasy at its best.
At the beginning of THE SINGER OF ALL SONGS, Calwyn fled Antaris with Darrow to defeat the ambitious chanter Samis. In THE TENTH POWER, she comes back to the mountains in hopes of rejuvenating her lost powers of chantment. But Samis's magic left terrible scars on Antaris, so Calwyn finds only conflict rather than the peace she craved. Meanwhile, Darrow suffers from a sickness that has sapped his magic as well as his strength--and Samis has returned to continue his quest for the Singer of All Songs. All of Tremaris seems to be dying. How can Calwyn save the land, and finally save them all?

From AudioFile:
The powers of magic that Calwyn discovered in the first two books of the trilogy of the Chanters of Tremaris are now lost to her. She returns home to Antaris unhappy and discouraged, only to find an epidemic in full force. When the high priestess entrusts her with the secret of the tenth power, Calwyn realizes she must find a way to preserve it. Lina Patel renders a clear and sympathetic narration, drawing out the emotions of her characters with a light touch. She provides variety in the voices of the main characters through the judicious use of accents. Her pace is steady and well measured. This is a good choice for family listening.
