But the work requires a witch with intrinsic power, and Saika's been disconnected from her magic since her sister's death two years prior.

If I were mortal, the epitaph on my tombstone would read: ‘Here lies Isla Ríhbiadh, cherished daughter of Fallon and Lorcan, crown princess of Luce, and blunderer like no other.’ Luckily, I’m an immortal shifter sorceress, so my countless slipups haven’t resulted in my untimely demise. Yet. When my latest blunder lands me in the steam chamber of a very naked and very irritable Faerie king, I worry the pointy-eared Glacin will dispose of my body under six feet of solid ice. Instead, he suggests we get married.

Wenn du dich nicht fürchtest, machst du etwas falsch. Vor sehr langer Zeit erschufen die Götter Monster und setzten sie in den fünf Königreichen Calandras aus, um uns daran zu erinnern, dass wir Menschen unbedeutend sind – dass wir unser kurzes, zerbrechliches Leben lang zu den Göttern beten müssen. Ich brauchte keine Gottheit, die mich daran erinnerte, dass ich machtlos war. Eine Prinzessin zu sein, war nie mehr als eine Scharade – dreiundzwanzig Jahre voll wertloser Titel und oberflächlicher Traditionen.

Um eine fantastische Welt lebendig erscheinen zu lassen, benötigt sie eine Vergangenheit. Daher erschuf Bestsellerautor George R. R. Martin den fiktiven Kontinent Westeros, auf dem sein Meisterwerk "Das Lied von Eis und Feuer - Game of Thrones" spielt, in jahrelanger Detailarbeit. Das Hörbuch präsentiert erstmals die Geschichte von Westeros - beginnend in der Zeit, in der die ersten Menschen den Kontinent betraten, über die Ankunft von Aegon dem Eroberer und seinen Drachen bis zu Robert Baratheons Rebellion gegen den wahnsinnigen König Aerys II. Targaryen.
