YA
Having joined Regan's Rebels in their stand against cruel King Keldec (Shadowfell), Neryn quests to find the supernatural mentors who can prepare her magical gifts for the coming revolution. The myth-infused Celtic landscape, well-developed female friendship, and political complexities sustain interest despite languid pacing, and fans will be pleased to see all the pieces in place for a concluding volume.
