Synopsis

MEGHAN CHASE HAS A SECRET DESTINY--ONE SHE COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED... Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school...or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth. For Meghan is the daughter of a mythical faery king...and a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face...and find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart. Don't miss the first book in Julie Kagawa's highly anticipated new series, TALON, AVAILABLE OCTOBER 28, 2014

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Two companions, funny Puck and dishy Ash, and a dry-witted talking cat, accompany Meghan through fairy-tale landscapes and scenes of more primitive mythology, with monsters and earthy sensuality. Faerie lands, we learn, are sustained by human imagination; as new technology is changing our dreams, we have conjured up an industrialised wasteland that threatens to destroy the nature sprites. The story works because of Meghan s voice, with her incredulity and her teenage frame of reference, while good ideas leaven what could be a tired formula. --The Sunday Times Children s Book of the week 24th Jan 2011

If you are crazy about fantastical books then you ll love this supernatural tale. Told through 16-year-old Meghan Chase s eyes, she learns that she is the daughter of a mythical king and has to follow an enchanted destiny. A stan-out in this fairy-filled genre. 9/10 rating --Kiss Magazine March 2011 issue

This debut novel, part one of Julie Kegawa s Iron Fey series, comes with a winning combination of magic, suspense and romance. A genuine page-turner, it brings together myth, fantasy and Shakespeare, all underscored with ideas of science and technology. --Sunday Express
