Junebook 10: The Naming by Alison Croggon

We're switching gears into some fantasy. This quartet of books, called the Books of Pellinor, starts off with The Naming. Then there is The Riddle, The Crow, and finally The Singing.

The story follow the girl named Maerad, who is initially a slave, but is discovered to have the "gift" by a bard named Cadvan. Later on in the novel, she finds out that it is her destiny to destroy a major evil villain who has been trying to conquer the lands for a long time.

All four novels follow her story has she tries to fulfill her destiny. It shows how she grows and learns about her powers and the relationship between her and Cadvan grows deeper as well.

A beautifully written story that I would recommend to any fans of fantasy.
