Heartlines and Bloodlines. Kristen Shurley-Han

Аннотация:

Adeline and her sister Evelyn may be royalty, but they have never felt entirely at home among their fellow elves. They wield the power of wishsongs: magical melodies that allow them to harness the energies in the world around them. But in a world deeply divided along cultural lines and still reeling from the wars of the past, some see the girls’ differences as dangerous. Almost as dangerous as the realm of the Dark Lord—secured behind an energy wall that seems to be failing . . . When Adeline’s uncle is found murdered near the wall, everyone wants answers. The more Adeline investigates, the more mysteries she uncovers. What was Uncle Levi doing so close to the Dark Lord’s kingdom? Has there been a breach between the realms? And where does the greatest threat truly lie: outside her kingdom or within? Fully illustrated by Parker Turney, Heartlines and Bloodlines introduces a fantastic new world full of intrigue and danger. Smart, determined Adeline leads a cast of characters whose origins and outlooks are as diverse and imaginative as the magical landscapes they inhabit. Join her as she seeks the secrets hidden within her own family—and her own blood.
