Shauna Lawless: Daughter of the Otherworld, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the author of the Gael Song trilogy, an epic new historical fantasy set in the tumultuous, magical world of medieval Ireland during the time of the Norman invasion.

Over a hundred years after she went missing, Isolde, daughter of the Crown Prince of Ireland and a powerful immortal, inexplicably reappears. Despite her decades of absence, Isolde is barely eighteen years old.

Her mother's kin are the Descendants, one of the two magical races of Ireland. But no Descendant can understand the reasons for Isolde's disappearance, and worse yet, she is believed to be Giftless - born with no magical ability, a dangerous thing when the magic-rich Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Descendants, have risen in power.

The Fomorians now control of two of Ireland's provinces. They desire further power over the mortal world, and seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by encouraging the Pope to authorise an invasion of Ireland by England's Norman lords.

But when death and destruction seem inevitable, Isolde's true worth will show itself... for she is far more than she seems.
