Publisher Description
El llibre fantasy més esperat de l'any és aquí: arribarà una Reina de la Sang per destruir el món, i una Reina del Sol per reconstruir-lo. Què succeirà?
En dues èpoques diferents i en regnes separats, les vides de la Rielle i l'Eliana estan vinculades per llaços encara més poderosos que la màgia. Una d'elles és la Reina de la Sang; l'altra, la Reina del Sol: totes dues estan destinades a unir el cel i la terra, les ànimes celestials i els humans. Però el camí que hauran de transitar és dur, ple de sacrificis i de proves inclements per a aquestes reines que, al cap i a la fi, són dues noies tan valentes com vulnerables que el Destí va triar per carregar a les espatlles el pes de l'Univers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This fantasy trilogy opener from Legrand (Foxheart) introduces teenagers Rielle Dardenne, a Celdarian, and Eliana Ferracora, a Venteran. Many Celdarians are able to magically control a single element, but Rielle can secretly manipulate all seven. According to legend, this means she is either the Sun Queen, who can save the world, or the Blood Queen, who can destroy it. When Rielle reveals her talent by single-handedly saving the crown prince from invaders, the king imposes a series of deadly trials designed to test her strength and prove her loyalty. A millennium later and a continent away, assassin Eliana ponders the source of her preternatural healing abilities while hunting insurgents for the Empire. When her mother vanishes, Eliana offers tactical assistance in exchange for information, thus altering the course of her future. Action and steamy romance abound, but character development takes a back seat to worldbuilding and an excessively complicated mythology. Legrand cleverly intertwines her protagonists' seemingly discrete storylines, which unfold in alternating chapters, but her plot is overstuffed; a conclusion lacking resolution or closure will leave invested readers eager for the next installment. Ages 14 18.
