(3) YA Maerad, sixteen, escapes from slavery and discovers her true name and magical birthright in this first installment of a projected quartet. While the pacing is slow, fans of LeGuin and Tolkien will enjoy the novel's lyrical style and the richly detailed descriptions of the landscapes, inhabitants, culture, and politics of Maerad's world.
