Lilly Inkwood – författare

A magical, classic fairytale reimagined… Once upon a time there was a princess, locked in a tower, forced to bend to her father’s will… But Celine is no ordinary princess, and she has no intention of being a damsel in distress.Celine has a lover, Hugo, whose cunning plan to rescue her is tied up in his own ambition to reclaim the lands and title that are his birthright. If only they can break the spell that binds him to the body of a cat, they will free the kingdom from the grasp of a cruel witch and live happily ever after…For the plan to succeed, they must rely on Hugo’s cousin, Philippe, to whom Celine must bind herself in marriage until Hugo can be reinstated. It’s a risk to trust him, but it soon becomes clear that this is the least of their problems, because this is a land of shapeshifters, magic, and illusion, where nothing is as it seems, even the truth. This is Puss in Boots with the intrigue and backstabbing of Game of Thrones. A fairytale, but not as you know it… Praise for Lilly Inkwood: ‘Reads like a fabulous mix of a fairytale and a spy thriller' Julia Golding, Novelist, Director of the Oxford Centre for Fantasy'It was just amazing.

She has the power to change a kingdom. There hasn’t been a Mindwalker in the Red Kingdom in centuries… until now. But Blanche’s ability is so rare, so valuable, that it must be kept secret. Because Blanche isn’t just a Mindwalker, she’s also the sister of the king. And every night, at her brother’s command, she faithfully wanders the minds of his enemies, searching for traitors, plots and secrets. But when she is tasked with seeking out the Condottiere, the leader of a band of mercenaries, she finds herself keeping secrets that will put her – and the competing factions vying for control – at risk.Blanche’s actions soon see her exiled to Mora's Tower, bound by a cruel magic… Yet, away from court, Blanche is free to develop her ability to see beyond and wield her gift more powerfully.When war breaks out, she is ready.
