What this book is about
The first Age of the Five novel follows Auraya, a young woman chosen to be one of the five White — champions of the Circlian gods — as she discovers a threat building on the continent's fringes. Canavan writes accessible adult epic fantasy with her characteristic warmth; the political and religious dimensions are well-developed, and the romance is adult but restrained. For adult and older YA readers of epic fantasy.
