Synopsis
In the classic spirit of epic fantasy in the Tolkien tradition, this FIRST BOOK OF PELLINOR chronicles the experiences of sixteen-year old Maerad, an orphan gifted in the magic power of the Bards, as she escapes from slavery and begins to learn how to use her Gift to stave off the evile Darkness that threatens to consume and enslave the land. This is the first in a projected quartet about Maerad and her brother, parted in childhood by tragegy, as they struggle to fulfill their unique destinies., "An epic fantasy in the Tolkien tradition, with a strong girl hero. . . . I couldn't put it down " - Tamora Pierce Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child when her family is destroyed in war. She doesn't yet know she has inherited a powerful gift, one that marks her as a member of the noble School of Pellinor and enables her to see the world as no other can. It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true identity and extraordinary destiny unfold. Now, she and her mysterious teacher must embark on a treacherous, uncertain journey through a time and place where the forces of darkness wield an otherworldly terror. The first book in a projected quartet, Alison Croggon's epic about Maerad and her remarkable yet dangerous gift is a beautiful, unforgettable tale. Presented as a new translation of an ancient text, The Naming evokes the rich and complex landscape of Annar, a legendary world just waiting to be discovered., "An epic fantasy in the Tolkien tradition, with a strong girl hero. . . .
