The Gift

The Gift (The first book of Pellinor)
Alison Croggon
494 pg
 
Right now I am reading a book called The Gift which is about a girl called Maerad who has lived her whole life as a orphaned slave at Gilman's Cot ( a very harsh settlement), Maerad is unaware that she possesses a great gift or magical power such as the bards of the schools only much greater which marks her as a member of the ones great School of Pellinor. Though when she gets rescued by Cadvan ( a bard from Lirigon) her destiny begins to unfold but with great power comes the prophesy that she is 'The One' who will be able to save their world from 'The Nameless one' who possesses the dark power now slowly creeping up on the land and Maerad and Cadvan must go through a treacherous journey and confront dark forces of the most terrifying kind.
The word which I found interesting and quiet hard to understand was embark (page 233)
Embark= To embark is to go into or stand against something/someone.
