Karakesh is a beautiful kingdom filled with magic and danger. There are the Grassmen who steal horses and leave your eyes burning with sneezie powder. The helpful travelers are always kind and always on the move. There are the dwarves, guaranteed to put you to work in their dark mines.Prince Emric is unhappy with the thought of being king one day. He yearns for something more magical and escapes for a life on the road with the Travelers. When the kingdom is in crisis and on the verge war, only Emric can unlock the deep earth magic to reunite them all.
This is my favorite of the Karakesh Chronicles by Kim Ellis. All of the books are filled with magic and adventure, but this one has a literal song weaving its way throughout. There were moments that I wished that I could dance with the travelers, too!
