I bought this book new back in the early 80's, and have read it a few times since then. I mostly enjoy the story, even if it does seem a bit simplistic to me these days. How many times have we seen the device of 'I found this manuscript and translated it in order to share its secrets with the world'? Michael Green...

From the author of Zel, Stones in Water, and The Prince of the Pond.

Deep in the woods lives the old witch called Ugly One. All she wants is to forget—that she was once a loving mother and a healer, blessed and powerful within her magic circle, and not a witch, claimed by the devils. Then one day...

The Prophet is dead.

The eyes of the Gods have turned to his daughter. But she isn't ready. Not for the whispers in her ear, for the divinations... for the blood. Her people's history and their future, carved by ancients into the bones of long dead behemoths, are now her burden. Only she can read...

Another teen/YA fantasy novel that my kids have enjoyed and asked me to read. As usual, I like to have a sense of what they are reading (to provide guidance and an occasional intervention LOL), so I thought I'd take a look. Its actually quite good, a cut above most teen fantasy fiction, even those I have enjoyed....
