Produktbeschreibung

When Mark Willoughby is confronted by a woman who looks like both a witch and a ghost, his life abruptly changes. For it appears that he is "The One Marked by Willow" destined to save a strange land called Lazaronia, whose inhabitants have been cursed with infertility. Only the King and Queen managed to have a child, a daughter. But there is nobody in Lazaronia to marry her when she grows up. The King's jealous brother Ignarius (who cast the infertility spell) has murdered King Lazarone and tried to pass himself off as the King. However, he couldn't convince the Queen Regent, who has had to rule the land and simultaneously search the universe for a husband for her daughter. As if the idea of never seeing his family again isn't enough, Mark also has to free the Goddess Lazaria, imprisoned on her ice-bound moon by Ignarius.

Autorenporträt

Laraine Anne Barker has always enjoyed telling stories. As a child, when playing with dolls with her younger sisters became boring, she would make up stories featuring the dolls. She also remembers how she and her sisters wrote stories into exercise books and even illustrated them, using crayons to colour them because they found that rubbing on the crayon pictures gave them a shine similar to that of glossy colour pictures in magazines. Laraine submitted her first book (for adults) to a publisher at about the age of 21 and received a very kind rejection letter in which the editor suggested the story could be rewritten for young readers. She regrets she didn't keep the rejection and follow up on the advice. She didn't start writing fantasy for young readers until 1986. After many rewritings the book started then became The Obsidian Quest (published under the Hard Shell imprint of Mundania Press). The Obsidian Quest was a finalist in The Dream Realm Awards 2001 and was followed by Lord of Obsidian and The Third Age of Obsidian, also published under the Hard Shell imprint of Mundania Press. The Mark Willoughby series was started in 1992. Silvranja of the Silver Forest was short-listed (one of three) in 1998 for a major New Zealand prize, The Tom Fitzgibbon Memorial Award.
