MAGUL ÎNGERILOR.

Four young people sense a bond when they first meet. Simeon excels at his medical studies, while Henri hunts for treasure. Agnez trains to serve among the queen’s musketeers. Dorotea paints icons and seeks to learn about angelic magic.

Their bond draws the attention of Liliath, a master of that magic. She wakes from an enchanted sleep lasting more than a century. She still has the beauty and face of a nineteen-year-old. Her goal is to rejoin Palleniel, the man she loves. She sets out to use the four to achieve this. No cost seems too high for her plan.

Garth Nix’s fantasy blends angelic magic, romance, and swordplay. Its adventure recalls Dumas and The Three Musketeers. It suits readers drawn to love stories set amid daring exploits.
