      Il giorno del suo diciannovesimo compleanno, la principessa Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, cresciuta in esilio, intraprende un pericoloso viaggio verso il castello in cui è nata, per riprendersi il trono che le spetta di diritto. Determinata e coraggiosa, Kelsea adora leggere e non somiglia affatto a sua madre, la fatua e frivola regina Elyssa. Protetta dal gioiello del Tearling uno zaffiro blu dagli straordinari poteri magici - e difesa dalla Guardia della Regina - un gruppo scelto di cavalieri guidato dall'enigmatico e fedele Lazarus - Kelsea ha bisogno di tutto l'aiuto possibile per sopravvivere alle cospirazioni dei nemici, che proveranno a impedire la sua incoronazione con agguati, tradimenti e incantesimi di sangue. Una volta diventata regina, e nonostante il nobile lignaggio, Kelsea si dimostra troppo giovane per un popolo e un regno dei quali sa ben poco, oltre che per gli orrori inimmaginabili che infestano la capitale. Kelsea deve scoprire di quale tra i suoi servitori fidarsi, perché rabbia e desiderio di vendetta si annidano fra i nobili di corte e perfino fra le sue stesse guardie del corpo. La sua missione per salvare il regno e compiere il suo destino è appena cominciata: Kelsea sarà chiamata ad affrontare un viaggio alla scoperta di se stessa e una prova del fuoco che la farà diventare una leggenda... se solo riuscirà a sopravvivere!

      The Queen of the Tearling
    • With each passing day, Kelsea Glynn is growing into her new responsibilities as Queen of the Tearling. By stopping the shipments of slaves to the neighbouring kingdom of Mortmesne, she crossed the Red Queen, a brutal ruler whose power derives from dark magic, who is sending her fearsome army into the Tearling to take what is hers. And nothing can stop the invasion. But as the Mort army draws ever closer, Kelsea develops a mysterious connection to a time before the Crossing, and she finds herself relying on a strange and possibly dangerous ally: a woman named Lily, fighting for her life in a world where being female can feel like a crime. The fate of the Tearling âe" and that of Kelseaâe(tm)s own soul âe" may rest with Lily and her story, but Kelsea may not have enough time to find out. In this dazzling sequel to her bestselling debut The Queen of the Tearling, Erika Johansen brings back favourite characters, including the Mace and the Red Queen, and introduces unforgettable new players, adding exciting layers to her multidimensional tale of magic, mystery and a fierce young heroine.

      The Fate of the Tearling
    • In a land where gods walk on the hills and goddesses rise from river, lake, and spring, the caravan-guard Holla-Sayan, escaping the bloody conquest of a lakeside town, stops to help an abandoned child and a dying dog. The girl, though, is the incarnation of Attalissa, goddess of Lissavakail, and the dog a shape-changing guardian spirit whose origins have been forgotten. Possessed and nearly driven mad by the Blackdog, Holla-Sayan flees to the desert road, taking the powerless avatar with him. Necromancy, treachery, massacres, rebellions, and gods dead or lost or mad, follow hard on the their heels. But it is Attalissa herself who may be the Blackdog’s—and Holla-Sayan’s—doom.
