Synopsis

The bestselling epic fantasy series from Germany, which began with Ahren, continues.

Two Einhans have been found but the third is still at large. Ahren and his companions have to traverse a kingdom plagued by unrest, sail along the treacherous east coast of Jorath and reach the dwarf enclave of Silver Cliff. Falk, Ahren's master hopes to find in its depths the third Einhan, a dwarf friend from his mercenary days, and to win him over for the Ritual of Naming that awaits his apprentice. To gain the dwarf's assistance, they must help him in his solitary watch, that tradition of the little people which allows a dwarf to attain his own individual name.

But time is of the essence. Ahren's Appointment as the 13th Paladin—assisted by the three Einhans—must occur by the winter solstice. If not, He, Who Forces will awaken before his time and plunge the unprepared peoples of Jorath into the depths of darkness.

-- The Pellinor Series -- (5.5/10) The Naming (Book One) I found Alison's writing to be rather obvious, full of clichés, and on the whole unsatisfying. When one of the main protagonists almost died, I found myself indifferent as the main characters were of a relatively uninteresting sort. Her analogi......more

Goodreads review by Alice

If it weren't so good, I would say this book is a mixture of every other fantasy book on the block. Test: can you match each plot line with another famous work? ...The "chosen one" is raised in a secluded farm, identity hidden...The girl was trained in musicianship by the local bard, and her prodigio......more
