Chargement... The Verdigris Pawnpar Alysa Wishingrad
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This middle grade fantasy reads like an instant classic. Beau is the young heir to an oppressive regime, unaware of the cruelties done in his name. When he meets Cressi, a low-born girl with forbidden magical talents, he learns the truth and embarks on a quest to find a savior. The author deftly weaves in many strands--an intricate chess-like game, incisive social and political commentary, and complex friendships among multi-dimensional characters-- to create a fully realized world that immerses and mesmerizes the reader. The Verdigris Pawn entertains and delights and also asks deep questions about what one should do when faced with the truth. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION! A boy who underestimates his power . . . A girl with a gift long thought lost . . . A Land ready for revolution . . . The heir to the Land should be strong. Fierce. Ruthless. At least, that's what Beau's father has been telling him his whole life, since Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be. With little control over his future, Beau is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father's quest for ultimate power. That is, until Beau meets a girl who shows him the secrets his father has kept hidden. For the first time, Beau begins to question everything he's ever been told and sets off in search of a rebel who might hold the key to setting things right. Teaming up with a fiery runaway boy, their mission quickly turns into something far greater as sinister forces long lurking in the shadows prepare to make their final moveâ??no matter what the cost. But it just might be Beau who wields the power he seeks . . . if he can go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
