The Books of Pellinor by Alison Croggon is an eight-entry young adult fantasy series. The core saga consists of The Naming (also published as The Gift), The Riddle, The Crow, and The Singing, following Maerad’s journey through the world of Edil-Amarandh. Later additions include the prequel The Bone Queen (2016) and companion works.
The series is known for its literary style and its use of music and language as central magical elements. Croggon created detailed appendices and histories for the world of Edil-Amarandh, drawing on traditions from Tolkien’s world-building while developing her own distinctive setting.
