Child of prophecy. Queen. Demon. Mother. High Wizard Ohren set the game, but Queen Adelena refuses to play by the rules of the prophecy which still controls her life in the Kingdom of Unisia. Instead, she has put her own players on the board, and uses magic that the St Lucidis wizards have never seen before. The life of her baby hangs by a thread and Adelena St Lucidis has dedicated herself to finding the cure. Forced to leave her young family in the snake pit of the Golden Palace, Adelena places them under the watchful eye of Prince Rainere Marchant, and can only trust that he will be enough to protect them. With her loyal Queen's Guard by her side, Adelena ventures far from Unisia, in search of a mythical creature who will provide the cure that her daughter so desperately needs. Yet in her haste, Adelena falls prey to countless dangers, and becomes embroiled in a war between ancient enemies. Held in the palm of a god, Adelena must rely upon her own wits and wiles to get herself, and those she loves, back home again. In this fourth book of the World of Evendaar series Winterstaar takes us into the heart of what it means to be a queen of an alien realm and the lengths a woman will go to to protect those she loves.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Adelaide Rose Winterstaar was born in a stone castle on the top of a hill surrounded by mountains. She spent most of her childhood staring out of windows and wishing that her life was so much other than it was. As a young woman she pursued a career in psychotherapy but was far too sympathetic to her patients' fantasies to be much help in dismantling them. She left her practice to travel the world and give herself over to a bohemian lifestyle embracing the crowning principles of truth, beauty, freedom and love. However, after many years, Winterstaar came to the conclusion that none of her romantic ideals could be realised in yet another lover's arms or the shaky embrace of hallucinogenic drugs. So she retreated back to that stone castle in the mountains and created her own world instead. Her interests include: the melancholy pondering on the fickleness of men's hearts while wandering through the shadowy vales of her mountain home; writing endless reams of iambic poetry on the truth of freedom and the beauty of love then hiding the papers in odd places about her drafty old castle, or burning them to ashes in the kitchen fire, depending on her whim. She also likes collecting new ways of describing God, forging platonic relationships and learning new languages. She dislikes tardiness in others, cats of all kinds and the intense awkwardness of the 'morning after' a tryst. All of the books that Winterstaar bothers to publish are works of complete fiction. Though the author often wishes this wasn't the case and dreams that one day she will, in fact, discover that it is her own life that is the fiction, and truly become a fictional author in her own right. A.R. Winterstaar urges all of her readers to see out the truth, beauty, freedom and love in their own worlds and, if finding none of these things, beseeches them to invent their own.
