The Gift by Alison Croggon
Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child when her family is destroyed in war. She is unaware that she possesses a powerful gift, a gift that marks her as a member of the School of Pellinor. It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true heritage and extraordinary destiny unfolds. Now she and her teacher, Cadvan, must survive a punishing and uncertain journey through a time and place where the dark forces they battle with stem from the deepest recesses of other-worldly terror.

She has written widely for theatre, and her plays and opera libretti have been produced all around her native Australia. She is also an editor and a critic. The Gift is her first fantasy novel. Alison lives in Melbourne with her husband Daniel Keene, the playwright, and their three children.
