作者简介
Clara O’Connor grew up in the west of Ireland where inspiration was on her doorstep; her village was full of legend, a place of druids and banshees and black dogs at crossroads. Clara worked in publishing for many years before her travels set her in the footsteps of Arthurian myth. The world she never expected to explore was the one found in the pages of her debut novel, Secrets of the Starcrossed, the first book in the The Once and Future Queen trilogy.
