Rhapsody : Child of Blood
Elizabeth Haydon
Tor, 1999
ISBN: 0-312-86752-2 (hardcover)
Elizabeth Haydon is a major new force in fantasy. Equipped with a quick wit, Haydon has a harp
ear for dialogue, panache with characters, and that essential ability to transport her readers into her
own fantastical world--a world so real you can hear the sweet music of Rhapsody's aubade and
smell the smoldering forges deep within the Cauldron.
Rhapsody is a woman, a Singer of some talent, who is swept up into events of world-shattering
import. On the run from an old romantic interest who wouldn't take no for an answer, Rhapsody
literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half-breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of
time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an
epic voyage, one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.
