APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Neryn lives in a menacing and uncertain world where her special ability to communicate with magical beings could easily get her killed. When her father dies, Neryn joins a mysterious stranger on a thoroughly engrossing and suspenseful quest to find a safe harbour. New Zealand-born author Juliet Marillier’s teen novel—the first in a trilogy—has broad appeal, thanks to the lovely and eloquent narration of a kind-hearted heroine, realistically complex characters and a sprawling fantasy world inspired by Celtic mythology.
