Produktbeschreibung

A spellbinding tale of sorcery, intrigue and betrayal from the author of the Runespell Trilogy and the Book of Ond.

Prince Rollo's world is shattered by the death of his mother, Queen Ursula of Artor. But even before he can grieve he faces the bitter disappointment of being overlooked as heir to the throne in favour of his younger sister. Deeply concerned for his son, Caspar decides to take Rollo to Torra Alta, his barony across the ocean in Belbidia, to claim the only birthright left to him.

But fifteen years have passed since Caspar left his uncle, Hal, as guardian of the remote province and many things have changed. Terrible creatures, banished from Belbidia years ago, are re-emerging; a huge golden dragon plagues the mountains and swarms of hobs and ravenshrikes ransack the fertile plains. Worst of all, the Chalice of Ond, a sacred artefact with the power to duplicate other magical objects, has been lost.

If this powerful weapon has fallen into the wrong hands, a dark age will undoubtedly befall Belbidia and her people.

Autorenporträt

Jane Welch was born in Foremarke, a hamlet in the very centre of rural England, exactly where more than a thousand years ago the Viking Great Army camped for the winter. Their forces were led by three of Ragnar Lothbrok's sons, including Ivar the Boneless.

Jane spent her childhood either at Foremarke, or in the remote coastal wilderness of the Scottish Highlands. In her younger days, she spent five years in the Pyrenees teaching skiing with her husband, surrounded by the magic of those ancient mountains.

Sine then, Jane has written nine fantasy novels, which form the Runespell series. The novels carry the echo of these wild places so dear to her heart. Presently, Jane is excited to be working on a new series, originally inspired by a climb to a Mediterranean lighthouse and looking down at an ancient harbour below.

Jane lives in beautiful Devon on the south west coast of England with her family and their noble dog, Odin.
