Jennifer Adam: The Last Windwitch, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Fans of Shannon Hale and Kelly Barnhill will delight in this charming and richly imagined middle grade fantasy debut, featuring a wicked queen, magical animals, a henchman with a golden heart, and a small girl with a great destiny.

Many years ago, in the kingdom of Fenwood Reach, there was a powerful Windwitch who wove the seasons, keeping the land bountiful and the people happy. But then a dark magic drove her from the realm, and the world fell into chaos.

Brida is content in her small village of Oak Hollow. There, she's plenty occupied trying to convince her fickle magic to actually do what it's meant to in her work as a hedgewitch's apprentice-until she accidentally catches the attention of the wicked queen.

On the run from the queen's huntsman and her all-seeing Crow spies, Brida discovers the truth about her family, her magic, and who she is destined to be-and that she may hold the power to defeating the wicked queen and setting the kingdom right again.

Will Brida master her magic in time to save the kingdom?

• Elemental Magic: From a lost Windwitch who once wove the seasons to the legendary stormhorses who now run wild, the world is filled with powerful and untamed magic.
• A Reluctant Hero: Brida is a hedgewitch's apprentice who would rather stay in her quiet village, but a great destiny calls her to a dangerous adventure.
• The Queen of Crows: A wicked queen with all-seeing Crow spies will stop at nothing to hunt Brida down and snuff out the light she carries.
• Hidden Heritage: On the run, Brida uncovers secrets about her own family that will change everything she thought she knew about herself and her place in the world.
• Classic Fantasy Adventure: Perfect for young readers who love epic fantasy books for kids, with magical animals, a henchman with a golden heart, and a tale of good versus evil.
