The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip

adventurous inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Morgon is the prince of Hed, a small farming island. He's also a riddle-master, acknowledged for his ability to ask and answer questions since the wizards have disappeared. He only wants to stay on Hed immersed in his land rule, but the three stars on his forehead and the crown of Aum that he won in a riddle contest force him into the outer world. Shapeshifters chase him, and danger lurks as he travels to find the answers to his riddles.
This is a classic fantasy book based on Celtic mythology by the marvelous Patricia McKillip. Her books should be mentioned more and be more widely read as her writing is lyrical and descriptive. I read this a long time ago, and I'm happy to reread it once again.
