Rupert Kingfisher Livres

    Sous le nom de plume T. Kingfisher, Ursula Vernon crée des fictions pour adultes qui brouillent souvent les lignes des genres, plongeant dans les complexités de la psyché humaine avec un mélange d'intuition pointue et d'humour inattendu. Ses récits créent des mondes qui semblent à la fois familiers et étrangement étrangers, incitant les lecteurs à contempler les subtilités des relations et leur place en leur sein. La voix distinctive de Kingfisher se caractérise par une profonde empathie et une capacité unique à tisser l'ordinaire avec l'extraordinaire, un peu comme on pourrait en rencontrer dans un jardin. Son travail invite à une exploration réfléchie des merveilles particulières de la vie.

      Young Rhea is a miller's daughter of low birth, so she is understandably surprised when a mysterious nobleman, Lord Crevan, shows up on her doorstep and proposes marriage. Since commoners don't turn down lords--no matter how sinister they may seem--Rhea is forced to agree to the engagement. Lord Crevan demands that Rhea visit his remote manor before their wedding. Upon arrival, she discovers that not only was her betrothed married six times before, but his previous wives are all imprisoned in his enchanted castle. Determined not to share their same fate, Rhea asserts her desire for freedom. In answer, Lord Crevan gives Rhea a series of magical tasks to complete, with the threat "Come back before dawn, or else I'll marry you." With time running out and each task more dangerous and bizarre than the last, Rhea must use her resourcefulness, compassion, and bravery to rally the other wives and defeat the sorcerer before he binds her to him forever.
