King Bridei is a man with a mission. His wish to unite his kingdom seems almost within his grasp but there are forces working to undo his dream.

Just one year ago, Neryn had nothing but a canny skill she barely understood and a faint dream that the legendary rebel base of Shadowfell might be real. Now, she is the rebels' secret weapon and their greatest hope for survival in the fast-approaching ambush of King Keldec at Summerfort. The fate of Alban itself is in her hands. But confidence is stretching thinner by the day when word of another Caller reaches the rebels: a Caller at Keldec's side with all of Neryn's power and none of her benevolence or hard-earned control.

Mit dem nordischen Märchen östlich der Sonne und westlich des Mondes als Inspiration webt Juliet Marillier eine magische Geschichte über die Suche einer jungen Prinzessin nach ihrem wahren Selbst. Hulde ist die Tochter einer Königin und lebt in einem Palast. Aber ihr Leben ist einsam. Auf dem Glasberg aufgewachsen, kennt sie nur ihre gewalttätige und autokratische Mutter und einen Haushalt von verängstigten Dienern. Dann kommt ein weißer Bär namens Rune zu Besuch und Hulde lernt, was Freundlichkeit ist. Aber die Königin hat einen Plan für Hulde.

From what we have relearned in recent history about the way magnetism, gravity, centrifugal and centripetal force, as well as the many other forces one giant body exerts upon another, we know the medievalists had it right all along. When the moon gets too close and too bright, it makes us crazy. In that spirit, editor Lancelot Schaubert rounded up sci-fi and fantasy writers Anne Greenwood Brown, Juliet Marillier, LJ Cohen, Anthony G. Cirilla, FC Shultz, and Emily Munro to write about cosmic influence.
