Prince Magnus must choose between family and justice as his father, the cruel King Gaius, sets out to conquer all of Mytica by tracking down an ancient, storied magic known as the Kindred.
Morgan Rhodes transpose son fantasme d'enfance d'être une princesse maniant l'épée dans l'écriture, une activité qu'elle trouve tout aussi gratifiante et bien moins périlleuse. Son œuvre se caractérise par des royaumes imaginaires où l'aventure et le suspense s'entremêlent, explorant des thèmes d'héroïsme et de magie. Bien qu'elle soit une auteure à succès national de romans paranormaux sous un autre nom, cette première incursion dans la haute fantaisie démontre sa maîtrise de la construction de mondes complexes. Les récits de Rhodes reflètent un sens aigu du détail, probablement influencé par sa passion pour la photographie et son goût exigeant de lectrice avide.
