The Wayfinder by Darcy Pattison

Hero Winchal Eldras, in the fantasy land of G’il Rim, is scarred by the untimely death of his little sister, when she wanders too close to the Rift and falls in. As his fear of heights caused him to hesitate at the last moment, he blames himself and locks himself away. But Winchal is not just a boy, he is a Wayfinder, part of a special group that has the ability to find anything and anyone.

But he is drawn out of his unhappy solitude when Prince Reynard arrives at his home, searching for a Wayfinder who could end a plague by going to the Well of Life. With the prince comes a telepathic Tazi hound named Lady Kala, who has never before endured the dangers that will confront both  on their journey.

Lady Kala and Winchal are a unique duo. I was very intrigued about the story once I reading it. Clearly I am not a teen and this is written for teens but I found that I enjoyed the book very much. Darcy Pattison has done a good job of writing characters that I believe teens will relate to.
