The bone queen : Pellinor: Cadvan's story

Summary/Review: Seduced into sorcery by an agent of the Dark, the promising Bard Cadvan of Lirigon recklessly unleashed the terrible Bone Queen, bringing destruction down upon Annar. Cadvan, cast out of the Schools of Barding for his crime, now lives in exile, burdened by memories of his dealings with Dark. At Cadvan's former home, his mentor, Nelac, and his rival, Dernhil, begine to suspect that the Bone Queen may yet lurk in Annar, and a young Bard, Selmana, is plagued by an ominous presence and an unsettling new ability to step between worlds. With darkness gathering and Bards giving in to fear and paranoia, a guilt-ridden Cadvan must earn back the Bards' trust, and Selmana must gain control of her newfound powers to bring peace to the living and the dead.
