Whistling Tor is a place of secrets: a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress belonging to Anluan - a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the region in tones of revulsion and bitterness.

Then the young scribe Caitrin appears in Anluan's garden, admiring the rare plant known as heart's blood.

Neryn has finally found the rebel group at Shadowfell, and now her task is to seek out the elusive Guardians, vital to her training as a Caller. These four powerful beings have been increasingly at odds with human kind, and Neryn must prove her worth to them. She desperately needs their help to use her gift without compromising herself or the cause of overthrowing the evil King Keldec.

Eager to hide her own canny skill - a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with the fairy-like Good Folk - Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to overthrow the evil King Keldec.

Mit dem nordischen Märchen östlich der Sonne und westlich des Mondes als Inspiration webt Juliet Marillier eine magische Geschichte über die Suche einer jungen Prinzessin nach ihrem wahren Selbst.

Stasya and her companions have made a remarkable journey to find the true heir to the Rulership, Markus, believed dead as a child.

The dangerous journey brings shipwreck, armed attack, and monsters both human and unearthly.

The peace of Heartwood is shattered when a group of soldiers descends, under orders from the Ruler of the Northlands. Their mission: to hack a path through the forest and find the fabled treasure said to lie deep within. The task is clearly impossible.
