Produktbeschreibung
France, 13th century. Near the shores of the Mediterranean lives Vara Svobodová with her father, a prominent merchant, his barbarian wife, and her scientist father. Though the shadowy gazes of Great Gods and the greedy hands of local lord Petru Dominus hang over them, Vara lives a comfortable life. That all changes when she learns that she is da resu, destined to life after death and servitude of her unearthly powers to he who slays her. Rumours of her true nature catch the attention of the increasingly mad Lord Petru, who covets power, has aspirations for the throne, and desires a resura of his own. Surrounded by spies, plagued with inexplicable visions, and trapped in the only home she has ever known, Vara finds the ambitions of those around her as sharp as the fabled nightingale's tooth. Caught in the middle, she realizes that it is her fate to die. But who will hold her leash when she does?

Autorenporträt
Sally McBride has lived in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, and (briefly) Florida (her cat didn't like it there). These days she divides her time between life in the mountains of Idaho (with her American husband) and city living in Toronto (close to Canadian family). In all these places, she has found supportive friends and fellow writers who get what it means to stare into the abyss trying to interpret what-ifs, if-this-goes-ons, dreams and wishes, and all the random stimuli that feed a writer's creativity. Sally has two amazing children and some equally amazing grandchildren. She enjoys skiing, reading (of course), and zipping around on her electric bike.
