Daughter of Redwinter - The Redwinter Chronicles

'A real page-turner, one that kept me guessing, and pulling the rug out from under me' Novel Notions'A glorious reconfiguration of classic fantasy' David Wragg, author of The BlackhawksRaine is seventeen-years-old and still on the run. She can see the dead, a secret that could get her killed. Seeking refuge with a deluded cult is her latest bad decision but rescuing an injured woman in the snow is soon revealed to be a horrific mistake. Hazia endangers not just Raine, but the whole world: she's escaped from Redwinter, fortress-monastery of the Draoihn, the warrior magicians who answer to no king or queen of the land, but to their own Grand Master. They will stop at nothing to retrieve what she's stolen.Raine must survive by her wits, and her skill with a bow in a world turned upside down. A battle, a betrayal and a horrific revelation finds her herself inside Redwinter, where anyone caught communing with ghosts is put to death. As conspirators plot to release an ancient enemy, Raine's ability to see the dead might be their only hope, but to use her power would see her condemned.Readers absolutely love Daughter of Redwinter:'This book builds along solidly, painting in a complex backdrop of culture, magic and characters . . . the final six chapters are a rocket ride, so don't start reading those if you have to get up early the next day' Robin Hobb, bestselling author of The Realm of the Elderlings series'The work of an author bursting with confidence, weaving a tale full of magic, mystery and intrigue' Mike Shackle, author of The Last War series'A world that won't let you go, along with a strong heroine who pulls you in emotionally, in a story that thrills you . . .
