She is unaware that she possesses a powerful gift, a gift that marks her as a member of the School of Pellinor.nIt is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true heritage and extraordinary destiny unfolds. Now she and her teacher, Cadvan, must survive a punishing and uncertain journey through a time and place where the dark forces they battle with stem from the deepest recesses of other-worldly terror. In this title, "Lord of the Rings" meets "Ursula Le Guin", for a new generation.
