Our heroine, Gaultry, must find the strength within to extricate herself from the bonds of an ancient prophecy which portends the overthrow, or the salvation, of her country at the hands of herself and her twin sister, Mervion. The plot unfolds around the simple hedge witch who is forced to accept the support of an unwanted and mysterious protector. The adventure is non-stop as we journey with the pair across the entire nation of Tielmark, a land under the governance of a well-loved Prince and a traitorous Chancellor from the empire of Bissantry. The tale is rich with gods, spells, swordplay, and a bittersweet romance.
Katya Reimann's aptitude for weaving a powerful story will surely make her one of this genre's bestselling authors. I will be anxiously awaiting the second book of the Tielmaran Chronicles.
