The Caller: A Shadowfell Novel

(3) YA The rebellion against the evil king of Alban builds to a final battle in which protagonist Neryn's ability to call forth the magical "fey" folk holds the key to victory. Plotting is languidly paced but immersive, underlaid by well-developed relationships, an impressively detailed ensemble cast, and a fully realized world. A good bet for fans of Garth Nix and Melina Marchetta.
