Inhaltsangabe

FIRST PLACE, MIDWEST BOOK AWARDS - It sounded like such a straightforward quest when Oberon proposed it -- just gather up the magical talismans the fairies had given her family and give them back, now that King Charlemagne's war with Spain was over. But when Bradamant took on the quest, she didn't know that her brother would think it was trafficking with devils. Her cousins the magicians didn't want to give up their carefully indexed books of magic (much less the hippogriff -- a useful steed and a loyal companion). Her sister-in-law was willing to give up the spear of Galafrone, but not until she'd finished using it. And her cousin Roland seemed to be haunting his grave, where his magically enduring sword was buried with him, and dead set against being disturbed. What's a warrior to do when valor alone is not enough for her to complete a quest?

Aus dem Klappentext

Prose by a poet. I look forward to rereading this many times. - Phyllis Ann Karr, author of Frostflower and Thorn, The Idylls of the Queen, and Amberleaf Fair This is an intelligent, entertaining, original fantasy about a heroine who is not your ordinary woman warrior, in a world that is not your ordinary fantasy world, though it does have mermaids, a dragon with a problem, and a charming hippogriff. I recommend it. -Eleanor Arnason, author of A Woman of the Iron People, winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Award and Mythopoeic Society Award; and Ring of Swords, winner of the Minnesota Book Award.
