Produktbeschreibung

FINAL BOOK OF THE AWARD-WINNING ECHORIUM SEQUENCE. Kyarra is one of the most promising young Singers ever trained by the Echorium. But as the daughter of the Singers' arch-enemy, she has a dark inheritance. When her mother is kidnapped from the Isle of Echoes, and corrupted half creatures begin to attack humans, the Singers suspect Frazhin is stirring once again. Kyarra follows her mother into the depths of the Quetzal Forest, where she meets her crippled father who is being worshiped by the half creatures as a god. Only the dark quetzal boy Night Plume, resistant to enchantment, can help her stop Frazhin from changing history and destroying the Singers forever. But when khiz-crystal surrounds them, will Kyarra's blood prove stronger than the Echorium's Songs? "Those who make their way through the entire sequence will be rewarded by an intricate and intriguing world, memorable characters, and a satisfying conclusion." School Library Journal. "A brilliantly conceived fantasy trilogy reminiscent of both JRR Tolkien and JK Rowling... ideal for confident readers." The Book People. There are three titles in the Echorium Sequence: Song Quest, Crystal Mask and Dark Quetzal. First published by Chicken House in the UK and Scholastic in the US, these full-length novels are enjoyed by both teenagers and adult genre fans. This series is best read in order of publication.

Autorenporträt

Katherine Roberts grew up in the southwest of England, where her first fantasy stories were told to her little brother at bedtime. She graduated in mathematics from the University of Bath, after which she worked for the General Electric Company, and later for an American company developing business models for petrol stations. When redundancy struck in 1989, she fulfilled her childhood dream of working with horses in a National Hunt racing yard, writing in her spare time.

After several years of writing short fantasy and horror stories for genre magazines, her first book Song Quest won the 2000 Branford Boase Award for best debut novel for young readers, kick-starting her career as an author. Her books have been published by HarperCollins, Chicken House and Scholastic US, and translated into 12 languages worldwide - one of them even hit the bestseller list in Taiwan. Her latest series for young readers, The Pendragon Legacy about King Arthur's daughter, is published in the UK by Templar Books.

Away from her computer, Katherine enjoys folk music, cycling, skiing, and horse riding holidays. She has flown a glider solo and scared herself silly doing aerobatics in a small plane. All of these experiences eventually find their way into her books - though sometimes the horse becomes a unicorn, and the plane becomes a dragon!
