Critiques en avant-première

When Dag Redwing Hickory rescued Fawn Bluefield from a vicious malice attack, neither expected to fall in love. Nor did they plan on cementing their feelings in marriage, collecting a motley band of followers, or traveling down the river to the sea, saving each other from dangers both magical and human. Now at the end of their river journey, Dag and Fawn must retrace their steps . . . if only they knew where they were headed. As Dag’s magical abilities have grown, so has his concern about who -- or what -- he is becoming. Apprenticing to a master groundsetter in a southern Lakewalker camp, Dag learns to harness his powers, even as he grows frustrated with the camp’s rigid mores, especially as they relate to Fawn. But the world as Dag and Fawn know it is changing, and the traditional Lakewalker ways cannot hold every malice at bay forever. It is when Fawn and Dag are on the road north, with a small band of friends and followers, that they will be confronted by Dag’s biggest fear and worst nightmare: a malice that grew unnoticed, and may now be too strong to be checked . . .
