Magia awakens….

Katrin and Cyril return to the mysterious island of Talisfarne only to find their beloved stonecote – and their lives – in appalling disarray. Things get worse when Katrin must choose whether or not to heal the son and heir of her darkest enemy, who lies gravely ill. Worse still, Cyril is threatened with expulsion from the abbey school, and Astrid is betrothed to a prince, with the promise that she will reign as queen.

Meanwhile the dashing Tsarevich Sasha feverishly pursues his own agenda, determined to uncover the mysterious source of Katrin’s and Cyril’s increasing magia. Before long, however, all five friends face must heart-wrenching choices that threaten lasting impact, not only on the Five Kingdoms but also on the Kingdom of the Fey.

The thrilling third book in the trilogy ventures into the treacherous landscape of the human heart, and the desperate choices to be made when all outcomes appear bleak.

Possible triggers: book contains character memories of being forcibly struck as a child and off-screen flogging of an adult male. For more information contact the author via her website.

In this enchanting fairytale, which Kirkus Reviews calls “intriguing … and lyrical,” a pair of estranged siblings, a tsarina, and a woodsman must band together to outwit a crooked duke who wants them all—and isn’t particular as to “dead” or “alive.”

Here be dragons and sirens, magical gifts and dread debts, deeds noble and foolhardy. With a touch of Narnia and a dash of Baba Yaga, it’s a tale that reads like balm for the weary in soul.

“A charming tale brimming with magic, beauty, action, and memorable characters.” – Kirkus Reviews
