Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Madigan's Leap Book 1: The King's ShillingMagic, folklore, and history entwine in this wholesome fantasy romance of love, loss, and destiny-an enchanting romantasy rooted in Celtic folklore, perfect for young adult readers.In the late 18th century, the Delacey family-once prosperous landowners-live on the rugged coast of a mythic Ireland, in the village of Allanwell. Tragedy strikes, and they are plunged into poverty.Amidst the turmoil, Rose, the youngest of the four Delacey daughters, is haunted by dreams of a marvellously handsome hero. Desperate to know whether he truly exists, Rose seeks the help of a local wise woman steeped in druidic lore, who casts a spell to uncover the truth. But ancient magic is never without risk-will Rose live to encounter the man from her visions, or is it all illusion? Will she find true love-and if so, how long may happiness last?For a Royal Navy press-gang is raiding up and down the coast, seizing young men to fight in the war against France. No able-bodied fellow is safe. What will this mean for the villagers of Allanwell, for the Delaceys, and for Rose and the dream-bound warrior whose face she knows by heart?As rumours of war grow louder, Rose must decide whether to hold on to hope-or forge a new path through enchanted landscapes and the pull of fate.
