Product Description
As this enthralling epic nears its climax, the young heroine’s brother discovers his own hidden gift — and the role he must play in battling the Dark.
Hem is a weary orphan whose struggle for survival ends when he is reunited with his lost sister, Maerad. But Maerad has a destiny to fulfill, and Hem is sent to the golden city of Turbansk, where he learns the ways of the Bards and befriends a mysterious white crow. When the forces of the Dark threaten, Hem flees with his protector, Saliman, and an orphan girl named Zelika to join the Light’s resistance forces. It is there that Hem has a vision and learns that he, too, has a part to play in Maerad’s quest to solve the Riddle of the Treesong. As THE CROW continues the epic tale begun with THE NAMING and THE RIDDLE, Alison Croggon creates a world of astounding beauty overshadowed by a terrifying darkness, a world where Maerad and Hem must prepare to wage their final battle for the Light.

 I love the Pellinor Series! August 10, 2008
I love this series and eagerly anticipated The Crow. However, I wasn't as impressed with this third installment as I was with the previous two. I felt that the first sixty or so pages were very boring and therefore hard to get through. I also found myself skipping paragraphs or whole pages throughout the book to get to the "good parts", something I had not previously done with the other books.
I felt it was a decent sub-back-story and it provided a lot of pertinent information on our villain, but here's to the fourth and our return to Maerad!

My granddaughter(age 14)wanted this book in the worst way, so I ordered it for her. She read this book in 3 days! Now she is asking for more! Apparently this is an excellent book for her to have read it so fast.
Third book in a great series May 24, 2008

This is the third book of an excellent four book fantasy series. Book publishers don't help their own sales by labeling books as for young adults because I am by no means a young adult and I can hardly put this series down. They are written in a female voice, are very creative, and exciting. I am anxiously awaiting book four to be published.
Great Book! April 15, 2008
This book was a fantastic read! It was really easy to get into and the characters are very believable. It is the third book in the Pellinor series, of which I own the other two. It is a great series for young adults to read. The vocabulary is easy to get through and the story line is easy to follow. There is always a feeling of excitement, of what will happen next that captures you and keeps you reading. It was very hard to put down. I would urge anyone to purchase this book!

I have been a HUGE fan of Alison's after I first read her novel, The Naming. Ever since then I have been hooked on this series, and it even remains today as one of my favorite series of all time. The book opens with Hem, Maerad's brother, who has split from her and traveled to the beautiful city of Turbansk with his mentor, Saliman. But all is not fun and learning for Hem, when the threat of war begins to become a reality. Along with his newfound friend, Zelika, his mentor, Saliman, the white crow, Irc, and other Bards, Hem will travel the landscape into a dangerous child army camp, and even into the heart of The Nameless One's domain. While this book is very depressing and sad, it is shot through with love and compassion, hope and courage. This book is masterfull written, and will quickly win your heart as one of your favorite series.
