Cassandra stands silent upon a ravaged battlefield, watching as the druids prepare the dead for the pyres, embers drifting up into the still winter darkness. She can barely breathe through the agony of her grief, but she cannot waste another second on tears. Because Londinium, the Caesar, the empire…all of it is still out there. The empire whose code she had followed, whose prince she had promised to marry, whose schemes she had been swept up in since birth. They tried to use her magic against her. To silence her. So she will use her magic against them. To silence them. Forever.

After failing to escape the Roman metropolis of Londinium with Devyn, her lover, and Marcus, her betrothed, Cassandra wakes in inky darkness to find the ground giving way to sand beneath her feet.

Es war einmal ... ein Mädchen ohne Erinnerung. Evangeline Fox hat sich auf der Suche nach ihrem Happy End bis in den Fantastischen Norden gewagt. Und es scheint, als hätte sie es gefunden: Sie ist mit einem gut aussehenden Prinzen verheiratet und lebt in einem sagenumwobenen Schloss. Doch Evangeline hat keine Ahnung, welch verheerenden Preis sie für dieses Märchen gezahlt hat. Sie weiß nicht, was sie verloren hat, und ihr Ehmann ist fest entschlossen, dafür zu sorgen, dass sie es auch nie erfährt. Aber zuerst muss er Jacks, den Prinz der Herzen, töten.

"Evangeline Volpe aveva sempre creduto che un giorno si sarebbe ritrovata in una fiaba.". Si è avventurata nel Magnifico Nord in cerca del suo lieto fine e sembra proprio che lo abbia trovato: ha sposato un bellissimo principe e vive in un castello leggendario. Ma Evangeline non ha idea del prezzo devastante che ha pagato per vivere la sua fiaba, non sa che cosa ha perduto né che Apollo, suo marito, è determinato a fare in modo che non lo scopra mai impedendole di ricordare e tenendola legata a sé con l'inganno.

Evangeline Volpe ha sempre creduto nell’amore e nel lieto fine… Fino al giorno in cui scopre che quello che credeva essere il ragazzo della sua vita sta per sposare un’altra. Nel disperato tentativo di impedire le nozze, Evangeline stringe un patto con il Fatidico Principe di Cuori, affascinante quanto malvagio. In cambio del suo aiuto, il Fato chiede a Evangeline tre baci, che dovrà dare quando e a chi deciderà lui.

Non tutti gli amori sono per sempre.Dopo che il Principe di Cuori l’ha tradita, Evangeline ha giurato a se stessa che mai più si sarebbe fidata di lui. E ora che ha dalla sua la magia che non ha mai neppure immaginato di poter avere, Evangeline può risolvere le situazioni rimaste in sospeso, e magari, chissà, anche riscattare la possibilità del lieto fine che Jacks le aveva portato via. Purtroppo non può sottrarsi alla profezia che la condanna a essere la “chiave” in grado di aprire il leggendario Arco del Valory.

This is one of the most popular re-tellings of the story of King Arthur. Like The Lord of the Rings, this fantasy novel has been equally popular among younger readers and adults. White takes an inventive approach that involves animals who speak and Robin Hood! A true Arthurian classic.
