Magie und Liebe – die neue Fantasy-Saga von Jennifer Fallon Nach dem einzigartigen Erfolg ihrer „Dämonenkind“-Trilogie kehrt die australische Bestsellerautorin Jennifer Fallon erneut in die Welt von Medalon zurück: Während ihr grausamer Bruder das Reich ruiniert, kämpft Prinzessin Marla darum, ihre Familie zu neuer Größe zu führen. Doch in der patriarchalischen Gesellschaft gilt sie nichts – bis sie eine einmalige magische Gabe an sich entdeckt …
Marla Wolfblade, princess of Hythria, is determined to restore her family to its former power and glory. But Hythria is a fiercely patriarchal society, and Marla knows power may only be gained through a man. Narrowly avoiding an arranged marriage to the King of Fardohnya, she instead marries Laran, Warlord of Krakandar Province, and gives birth to a son. Damin is named heir to the throne of Hythria by his uncle, the dissolute High Prince.
Settling in to life as the wife of a warlord, Marla believes the future of her family is secured but there are forces in the land that do not want the house of Wolfblade restored. Can Marla protect her son and her family, and stop the conspirators?
Review quotes:
Ein Epos voller faszinierender Charaktere und wunderbarer Dialoge, zusammengeführt in einer fesselnden Geschichte.- Publishers Weekly Diese Geschichte kann man nicht aus der Hand legen - ein echter Pageturner! - Altair
I can't say enough about the plotting or the prose… Fallon has a way with words that makes you want to keep reading, and her plot just draws you in so tightly that you can't break free.
-The Dark Spiral (Eye of the Labyrinth)
The fantasy genre has its baggage--Renaissance fairs, role-playing games, Christopher Lambert. So credit Fallon for exploring themes like dirty politics and religious tolerance for the launch of her Hythrun Chronicles series, a bestseller in her native Australia . . . an intriguing soap opera of espionage and family revelations.
