Про цю електронну книгу
A thrilling adventure set within a storm of secrecy.
Tansy, Perrin, and Skir could hardly be more different - a laundry-maid, a swordsman and a young Priest-King whose countries are at war. But their frantic escape from Arvestel thrusts them together. Pursued by soldiers, haunted by the Witch-Woman's sinister magic, they ride for their lives through hostile lands.
To survive they must learn to trust each other, strip away the layers of deception that surround Skir, and challenge the tyranny of the Witch-Woman. But what will happen if all truths are revealed? And will the power of the Priest-King be enough to bring peace to the Threelands?
'Constable's flavour of fantasy is fresh and full of heart. Politics, romance, magic - what more could you ask for? A beautiful and complex book.'
Lili Wilkinson, Centre for Youth Literature

Про автора
Kate Constable was born in Victoria but spent much of her childhood in
Papua New Guinea, without television but within reach of a library where
she 'inhaled' stories. She studied Arts/Law at Melbourne University before
working part-time for a record company while she began her life as a
writer. She has had stories published in Meanjin, Island and other
literary magazines. The Singer of All Songs, The Waterless Sea and The
Tenth Power form the Chanters of Tremaris series and were her first books,
published by Allen + Unwin with very successful overseas sales. Kate lives
in West Preston, Victoria, with her husband and two daughters.
