Produktbeschreibung

She darted up to her brother, grabbed his stick of chalk and scrawled an intricate shape that her fingers traced, she didn't know how...

Selentra, youngest of three siblings born to a weaver's family living in the dark-forested hills of Kote, suddenly discovers that she has the extraordinary gift the Ancients spoke of. Little does Selentra's family know that her astonishing ability, when mastered, could free their gagged country from the wicked Ag-yanees.

All her secret might have earned Selentra was the sullen jealousy of her brother, Dumor - the oh-so-unworthy favourite. But her power could prove so huge, so vital and so potent that her ruthless enemies are already poised to strike her down.

Who will protect Selentra from her foes - including her own brother - as she crosses the chasm between her destiny and her will? Is Selentra doomed? Or truly blessed?

Sharp as an icy wind, gleaming like a charmed gem and twisty as a mountain path, this imaginative tale of courage and conflict will make you wish that it were true.
