The Squire and His Magical Library
Über dieses E-Book
What if fate is something he can choose?
The druids predicted that Rian would become a great warrior, so he reluctantly left for the king’s training program. One evening, humiliated and angry, Rian flees the other squires to hide in the cellars...where he finds a cozy room filled with colorful boxes called “books,” and a wren-like Fae who explains that he can choose his own fate. Each year, he rolls the dice and one figurine crumbles, based on his recent choices. It should be easy to make the Warrior disappear, right?
Meanwhile, Rian befriends a bold and charismatic knight-in-training determined to avenge her past, despite being a girl. And the young princess has just emerged from an illness that left her blind, and after Rian helps her once, the king commands that he return to tell her stories.
But as Rian’s decisions become entangled with his friendships, the figurines vanish. As the years go by, does he have any choice left about his own future?
Read now, to journey back to 3rd-century Ireland with a reluctant young hero!
With characters based on Irish mythology, this historical fantasy has plenty of action but no gore.
It takes place in the same world as the other “Castle in Kilkenny” books, but is the earliest book featuring these characters.
Autoren-Profil
Characters you connect with. Adventure. Love. Family… Endings that are more than a sugar rush.
When Christy Matheson is not throwing ordinary characters into fairy tales, she is busy raising five children. (Very busy.) She writes character-driven historical fiction with and without fantasy elements, and her “fresh, smart, and totally charming” stories have won multiple awards.
Christy is also an embroidery artist, classically trained pianist, and sews all of her own clothes. She lives in Oregon, on a country property that fondly reminds her of a Regency estate (except with a swing set instead of faux Greek ruins), with her husband, five children, three Shelties, one bunny, and an improbable quantity of art supplies.
