奇幻小说《被放逐的女王》
Seventeen-year-old Han Alister was once the Ragmarket street lord, skilled in thievery* and lies. But now he’s traveling to Oden’s Ford to earn an education in the magical arts, and it will not be without danger.
Despite the fact that the academy is known as “the great leveler,” there are students who have reason to hate Alister, specifically* the Bayar twins, Micah and Fiona, because he stole the Demon King’s amulet* from their father, the High Wizard.
To gain the upper hand over them, Alister joins forces with a mysterious* wizard* he met in the dream world, but what this wizard asks in return may be more than the teen wishes to give.
Meanwhile, Princess Raisa has fled from an arranged marriage with Micah. She and her loyal — and beloved — soldier, Amon, are also making their way to Oden’s Ford so that Raisa might receive a military education to become a stronger ruler.
Raisa’s and Alister’s paths have crossed in the past, but when they meet again their connection is more powerful than before.
Author Cinda Williams Chima has created an intricate* world with a rich history, cultural prejudices*, and complicated political dynamics. Those who love a well-thought-out fantasy will enjoy this novel. (SD-Agencies)
