Shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (1998), the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (1998), and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature (1998).

A story within a story, The Gift is a story of innocence betrayed and magic rejected. Tim is robbed of his childhood, and Simon is tormented by hearing made too acute. Both are victims of The User of the Night, once a boy like them, now pathetically twisted by his own ambition and by Tomen, a malevolent creature of magic. Together Simon and Tim must rid their land of the magic that has been misused by Tomen and The User.
