L'éducation de Cat Seaton dans l'Inland Northwest, une région où elle n'a jamais appris à nager, façonne sa voix littéraire unique. Issue d'une famille aux airs théâtraux, elle est sujette à des envolées fantaisistes et à un symbolisme audacieux, voire téméraire. Enfant, Seaton dévorait les contes de fées, la poésie et les films d'horreur, un mélange qui nourrit aujourd'hui son ambition créative. Son écriture vise à illuminer, déranger et amuser, créant des histoires qui puisent dans ces diverses influences.
Sibylla is a young woman who's always craved adventure. So when a witch tells of a rather unusual betrothal in her future, she takes it well in stride. But she never guessed that the prophecy would be quite so literal, until the day a giant, magical bull appears at her door to ask for her hand in marriage. But the real question is: is the Black Bull of Norroway a man, or a monster?--
Happiness is an illusion when unfinished business awaits. Seven years have passed since the disastrous events of BOOK 1, and now it's time for Sibylla to face her curse-breaking destiny. When Troll Kingdom soldiers arrive in the once-safe town of Fiskeby, she's forced to flee up the Glass Mountain. But the moment she steps foot on Troll lands, she's thrown into a jail cell, where she discovers her amnesiac ex-fiancé is set to wed the Troll Queen's daughter. Using all of her wits, she must convince the princess to turn against her own mother, or else face execution on the day of the wedding-and doom the kingdom to remain cursed forever
