Sobre aquest llibre
“A warm and intricate fantasy opus.” —Charlaine Harris
“A gorgeous creation.” —Anne Bishop
A restless young woman longs to see the world beyond her pastoral valley in this fantasy series debut with all the trappings of a whimsical fairy tale.
Jenn Nalynn, the miller's daughter, wants to travel, to seek what's missing in her life. Not that she's sure what that is, but since this summer began, she's felt a strange and powerful yearning. She's certain she'll find what she needs—if only she can leave the valley.
But she must not, for the valley is more than it seems. Long ago, a cataclysm of misused power pinned Marrowdell to the Verge, a place of wild magic, home to dragons and even stranger creatures. Should Jenn leave Marrowdell, she will pull the worlds asunder.
To prevent this, powers from the Verge have sent a guard to watch over her, a disgraced dragon named Wisp, Jenn’s invisible playmate. Wisp's duty is to keep Jenn in Marrowdell—by her death, if he must.
But time is running out. What Jenn unknowingly feels is the rise of the Verge's magic within her, a magic that will threaten her and those she loves. Worse, this summer will end with a Great Turn, and strangers seeking power at any cost have come to Marrowdell to try to force an opening into the Verge, to the ruin of all.
