This is a long shot, but could it be Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay? I haven't read the book, but it is a fantasy novel and the opening has a girl on a journey.

A fantasy novel of some kind, and literally all I'm sure of is that the main character was a girl, and she started on her journey because she kept hearing a deep voice in her mind saying "Follow me to Alderloon". I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right - neither that nor any of the alternate spellings I've tried ("aldarloon", aldairloon", etc) have yielded anything relevant. I know that's not a lot to go on, but for whatever reason the "follow me to Alderloon" bit has just stuck in my mind for the longest time and I have to figure out what it's from.
