Maerad lives a miserable existence as a slave in Gilman's Cot, until her "Gift" is discovered by Cadvan, a Bard/Mage who stumbles upon her while passing through. Cadvan coordinates her escape. They journey to one of the Barding Schools so that Maerad can be recognized as a Minor Bard and begin proper training in magic. Minions of the Nameless One repeatedly stalk and attack them. Through these encounters, Cadvan realizes the extent of Maerad's powers and comes to believe that she is the Foretold who will fulfill an ancient prophecy and triumph over the Dark.I liked this story; however, I didn't rush out to read the sequels so I guess I didn't like it enough to care about the results.
Rating: 8 of 10.
