Chalice is a 2008 novel by Robin McKinley, set in the demesne of Willowlands. Willowlands' Master and his Chalice have recently died under less than pleasant circumstances, and the late Master's younger brother has been called back from his initiation into the priesthood of elemental Fire to take over as the demesne's new Master - to some opposition, since becoming a priest of Fire has left him no longer entirely human.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mirasol was a simple beekeeper before she was unexpectedly called upon to take over as the demesne's new Chalice, in which position she must somehow make the transition to a new and not-quite-human Master work smoothly in spite of her own inexperience in the role. If she can't, the consequences will affect the entire demesne, which is already in an unstable condition thanks to the previous Master.Unfortunately, not very many people - including Mirasol herself - have a lot of confidence in her ability to adequately fill the role of Chalice. Even fewer are willing to put any faith in their strange new Master. And if Mirasol and the new Master can't make themselves secure enough in their roles as the demesne's leaders, there are people ready and waiting to take advantage of their weakness to sieze control - even if it causes the Willowlands to tear itself apart in the process.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Chalice / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: Lacking the benefit of an apprenticeship to teach her how to be Chalice, Mirasol has to make up a lot of things as she goes along... which results in some unprecedented accomplishments, including transforming the Master back to his fully human form. | |

Badass Normal: Despite being apparently the only Court title of the twelve to come with no magical powers, the Grand Seneschal is still the third-ranking member of the Court because he's the one that actually handles the day-to-day administering of the demesne. | |

| Chalice / int_6537cc1a | comment |
All Girls Like Ponies: As usual for McKinley's work. Mirasol doesn't have her own pony, but has an established affection for the House's ponies and handles them well. | |

Bee-Bee Gun | |
| Chalice / int_ab62343b | comment |
Bee Bee Gun: Mirasol's power as Chalice causes her bees to behave in some very unusual ways. A massive swarm of them kills Horuld at the book's climax, and what's left when they're done is not very pretty. | |
