Book Recommendation:
The Naming by Alison Croggon
From the Back: Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child after her family is destroyed in war. Â She is unaware that she possesses a powerful gift, one that marks her as a member of the School of Pellinor. Â It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true heritage and extraordinary destiny unfold. Â Now she and her new teacher must survive a journey through a time and place where the dark forces they battle stem from the deepest recesses of otherwordly terror.
Allison Croggon's epic fantasy, the first in the Books of Pellinor quartet, is a glittering saga steeped in the rich and complex landscape of Annar, a legendary world ripe for discovery.
It's one of the best books I've ever read.
