Een Troon van ZwanenReeks

Stap in een rijk waar degenen die niet kunnen vliegen, worden geregeerd door degenen die kunnen zweven. Deze boeiende epische fantasy volgt een jonge vrouw die in een machtspositie wordt gedrongen, geconfronteerd met hofintriges en een koninkrijk dat op de rand van duisternis balanceert. Terwijl ze verraderlijke allianties navigeert en oude bedreigingen confronteert, moet ze vechten voor haar thuis en het land dat ze heeft gezworen te beschermen. Het is een meeslepend verhaal over moed, gebroken loyaliteit en de meedogenloze zoektocht naar je eigen plaats in een wereld die wordt bepaald door macht en gevaar.

    In a world where the flightless are ruled by those who can fly . . . When her father dies just before her birthday, seventeen-year-old Aderyn inherits the role of Protector of Atratys, a dominion in a kingdom where nobles are able to transform at will into the bird that represents their family bloodline. Aderyn's ancestral bird is a swan. But she has not transformed for years, not since witnessing the death of her mother - ripped apart by hawks that have supposedly been extinct since the long-ago War of the Raptors. With the benevolent shelter of her mother and her father now lost, Aderyn is at the mercy of her brutal uncle, the King, and his royal court. Driven by revenge and love, she must venture into the malevolent heart of the Citadel in order to seek the truth about the attack that so nearly destroyed her, to fight for the only home she has ever known and for the land she has vowed to protect. Written in rich detail and evocative language, this is the start of an irresistible, soaring duology about courage, broken loyalties and fighting for your place in the world.

    From the authors of A THRONE OF SWANS comes the second in a fierce and soaring fantasy duology. Fight or flight . . . or both? Three months after Aderyn's coronation the court is celebrating the Solstice, but Aderyn is preoccupied by Lucien's continuing hostility. The celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of nobles who have escaped from the neighbouring country of Celonia - the flightless have risen up and overthrown their rulers. The world is changing. As people begin to question whether Aderyn and Aron are strong enough to rule, there is an attempted assassination on Aderyn's life. Siegfried and Tallis have made their move - they have formed an army, declared war and will take the throne, by any means necessary. Aderyn must fly to uncharted territories and risk the lives of everyone she loves, to defeat her enemies, secure her throne and unite her people. Epic, dangerous and impossible to put down, this finale takes you on a soaring journey through grief, strength and determination to fight for what is right, what you love and what is yours.
