What this book is about
Angharad 'Harry' Crewe lives on the Homelander colonial frontier when the Hillfolk king rides in and takes her north into the desert. She doesn't know why — but she's drawn to the old hero-magic of the Hillfolk and to the ancient sword Gonturan. A classic of YA fantasy and a Newbery Honor book.
