Synopsis

Book by Lee Tanith

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Tanith Lee restores one's faith in fiction as the expression of imagination and original thought. (The Guardian)

LAW OF THE WOLF TOWER: 'The fresh, first person diary captures the confusion and immediacy of adolescence ... Tanith Lee creates alternative societies vividly and sets them in astonishingly visual landscapes.' (The Guardian)

A feast for fans of fantasy. For those long winter nights by the fire, this will make compulsive reading. (The Bookseller)

EAST OF MIDNIGHT: 'Tanith Lee creates strange magic worlds full of beautiful landscapes peopled with sorcerers compelled to carry out revolting practices. Yet their problems are human ones and the complex plot of this book should fascinate even sceptical older children.' (British Book News)

This is just a delight, from one of the masters of fantasy. One of those books you wish you could read again for the first time. (Armadillo)

PIRATICA:

On recent evidence, pirate stories look like being the next big thing. If so, may they all be as much fun as this one, by the Cat's Elbows! (Jan Mark, The Guardian)

A glorious roustabout of a tale, full of yummy set pieces and terrific adventures, unbelievable in a most satisfying way. The language is rip-roaring or glides like a seagull, as needed. And the thrilling dénouement is romantic as heck. (Kirkus Review: Starred)

a rollicking read. Road adventure, sea voyage and treasure hunt in one. (Irish Times)

... a wonderfully rumbustious fantasy that is as clever as it is entertaining. (The Independent)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Free at last, Claidi and Argul are married in a brilliant ceremony, and look forward to their life together. But, nagged by her past, Claidi decides they must return to her birthplace, the House, and rescue her fellow slaves.

On arrival they discover that a revolution has taken place, sparked by Claidi's escape. A benign regime is now in charge, headed by the valiant Dengwi. However, during a grand dinner, Dengwi - to her own astonishment - is revealed to be the daughter of a former prince. She departs with Claidi and Argul, summoned by Ironel Novendot of the Wolf Tower.

Once with Ironel, the trio are joined by Winter Raven, Venn and Ngarbo. Then Ironel breaks her news: Ustareth, mother of Argul and Venn is alive, and has invited the young people to her new land, Summer. The party, unable to refuse, knows that at the end of their journey waits a woman, the science-sorceress, who has perhaps manipulated each of them since the day they were born ...

Not only Claidi is asking - what is the answer to the riddle of Ustareth?
