Spellbound
Novinka
Step into a dark and magical world in the enchanting new fantasy and fairytale retelling, perfect for fans of Katherine Arden’s The Bear and The Nightingale, and Uprooted by Naomi Novik.
What if Beauty never went to sleep? In a remote castle perched atop a windswept island, a long-awaited royal heir is born. In accordance with ancient custom, a blessing ceremony takes place to bestow the princess with magical gifts – along with a terrible curse.
But this is not the love story you may think you know.
There is no enchanted sleep for the princess, and no handsome prince to save the day. Just three women, who together concoct a desperate plan of misdirect that changes the course of all their lives.
Except dark magic cannot be tricked, and as the end of the curse edges closer, Violanna, Meredyth and Sel each has a choice to make.
They can wait to find out if the worst will happen, or they can turn to face the coming storm . . .
