Klappentext zu „Queen Among the Dead “
"In the kingdom of Eire, banshees chill the air, and water-wights lurk in the rivers. But magic is outlawed by the king, and jealously hoarded by his Druid priests. Neve is the youngest daughter of the king, and Ronan is a Druid s apprentice-turned-thief, making a living by selling stolen spells. They should be enemies, but their shared hatred of the Druids and a dark magic that has marked them both makes them unlikely, if uneasy, allies. When Eire is threatened by a power struggle, Neve must seize the chance to take her rightful place on her family s throne, with the help of Ronan and the realm s most dangerous outcasts. Their journey takes them to the outskirts of Eire where magic still runs free . . . and where an outlaw and a warrior princess might carve out a future with spells and swords."--
