Lindsey Byrd: The Moon Blessed King, Gebunden

Klappentext

'An ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers' Lucy Holland on book one, The Sun Blessed Prince

Can two rulers with power over life cheat death to save two nations locked in war?

Elician is crowned King of Soleb, but all is not well. He is a Giver, with the power to raise the dead, and it is forbidden for Givers to rule. While carrying this secret, he must end a generations-long war with the kingdom of Alelune and plans to do so by marrying Alelune's heir, Cat. As a Reaper, who can kill with a touch, Cat is feared by his own people. When Cat's brother, the tyrannical Gillage, seizes the throne of Alelune, the conflict Elician had hoped to avoid seems inevitable.

Yet just as the war between nations appears to be beginning anew, the goddess of death releases a devastating plague across the continent. To stop it, Elician and Cat must confront Death herself. Elician's rebellious sister, Fen, is left behind to do what she can to heal the sick in their absence. But when a coup threatens to upend her brother's reign, Fen must decide exactly what she is willing to sacrifice to help her brother succeed.

With the death toll rising, it's a race against time to appease the wrath of a god with the monarchies of both countries at stake.
