Shadowfell by Juliet Marillier
416 pages
Expected publication: September 11th 2012 by Knopf BYR
Sixteen-year-old Neryn is alone in the land of Alban, where the oppressive king has ordered anyone with magical strengths captured and brought before him. Eager to hide her own canny skill--a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with the fairy-like Good Folk--Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to overthrow the evil King Keldec.
During her dangerous journey, she receives aid from the Good Folk, who tell her she must pass a series of tests in order to recognize her full potential. She also finds help from a handsome young man, Flint, who rescues her from certain death--but whose motives in doing so remain unclear. Neryn struggles to trust her only allies. They both hint that she alone may be the key to Alban's release from Keldec's rule. Homeless, unsure of who to trust, and trapped in an empire determined to crush her, Neryn must make it to Shadowfell not only to save herself, but to save Alban.

ReplyDeleteYep, I have an ARC of this one and I can't wait to sit down and read it. I've heard wonderful things from friends who already have.
ReplyDeleteI have heard such amazing things about this author, and I know you love her. This one is definitely on my list. I have the book you love so much. I'm going to try to read it in June when my schedule dies down.
