Synopsis

Calwyn used to be exceptional. She was the most talented of all the chanters of Tremaris, and she’d fought hard to become their leader. But then there was an accident, and the magic inside her went silent. Where there once was power, now there is nothing. Her whole life–the future she had planned with Darrow–has somehow slipped away.
All Calwyn wants to do is limp home and hide. But she can’t, because although her power is gone and taken all happiness with it, her responsibilities seem to grow every day. There’s a sickness attacking the chanters of Tremaris, a sickness that seems to have infected the land itself. And even though Calwyn is now just an ordinary girl with no magic left in her, she can’t sit by and watch the world die.
This is a story about tremendous courage and the strength of spirit that life sometimes demands. But it’s also a story of hope, because sometimes when everything you know has failed you, there is another way. Sometimes there is a tenth power–if only you can find it.

A very satisfying ending to The Chanters of Tremaris trilogy. As it’s the final book, I feel that almost anything I say will be a spoiler for the first two books, so I guess I can’t say much beyond I enjoyed it very much and think it was a Sunday well spent.......more

I can already tell I waited too long to review this one; I've read a few books since finishing it, so it's not as fresh in my head. I enjoyed reading this one well enough, but I'll admit it wasn't my favourite of the three. I enjoyed much of the beginning, some of the middle, and the very end; other......more

Goodreads review by Lara on August 02, 2020

This one was a mixed bag for me too, I liked it but definitely not as much as the first book. I didn't like Keela's redemption and going from being an evil person trying to deceive the main group to being a friendly lover of Tonno -I feel like it wasn't given enough time to develop and happen.
