Samenvatting
Volume one of the stunning fantasy trilogy set partly on the shores of Lake Superior in the 19th century.
In her own world Bridget is shunned and despised. In Isavalta, she is a sorceress of astonishing power. Which life will she choose?
When lighthouse-keeper Bridget Lederle rescues an oddly dressed, tattooed stranger from the storm-tossed Lake Superior he tells her he is from another world, a world in which she is a great magical force. Only she can save the Dowager Empress, currently under threat from her poisonous daughter-in-law. For a woman with nothing to lose, it's an attractive offer. But when Bridget arrives in Isavalta she finds nothing is quite as he promised her…
"A sumptuous tale of subtle magic, malevolent sorcery and twisted loyalties – you won't regret venturing into Sarah Zettel's world."
SARA DOUGLASS
Zettel's first fantasy novel is a triumph of story-telling. Rich, compelling and exciting, this could be the best fantasy debut in years"
JONATHAN WEIR, 'Amazon'
Volume one of the stunning fantasy trilogy set partly on the shores of Lake Superior in the 19th century.
Bridget Lederle is the lighthouse keeper of Sand Island Lighthouse, a woman ostracised by the locals because of the bastard child she bore to a visiting Finnish fisherman, and because of her own mysterious antecedents. It is rumoured she’s a witch; certainly, she has strange and uncontrollable visions and premonitions. One day, she has a premonition of disaster and ‘sees’ a small boat being dashed to pieces on the rocks off the island in a storm; the next day the storm kicks up – and she goes out to find a man thrown up on the shore, almost dead. When he speaks, it is in an unknown language; he has bizarre tattoos, and when he wraps a piece of braided cloth about her arm, she is suddenly able to understand him.
He tells her he is from another world, a world in which she is a great magical force, and that her presence is required to save the Dowager Empress, currently under threat from her poisonous daughter-in-law. It is an attractive offer for a woman with nothing to lose (her baby died, she has no prospects in our world); she goes with the wizard to Isavalta. But there she will find nothing is quite as he promised her…
