CRYSTAL MASK
Winner of the Branford Boase Award. The Echorium's enemies have been quiet for a generation, licking their wounds after the events of Song Quest. But now a new threat is emerging deep within the Mountains of Midnight. Once again, the Singers must use their Songs of Power to restore harmony to their world. As one of the few novices who can hear half creatures, Renn reluctantly teams up with the wild girl Shaiala who can kick like a centaur. Forced to leave the safety of the Isle of Echoes on a dangerous mission to find the missing centaur foals, they must learn to work together against their common enemy. For in a land where the slightest whisper can bring down an avalanche, the Echorium's Songs alone will not be enough to defeat an evil that makes children and half creatures into slaves.
