Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Princess Ivy Rosewell wakes to discover that her kingdom has been torn from its familiar landscape. Aethelgard's palace is suddenly suspended on a nine-thousand-foot glacial summit, tilted at an impossible angle and surrounded by the Frost-Crown Spires. The valley, roads, fields, and capital have vanished, while freezing winds and violent changes in gravity threaten everyone inside the castle.Ivy refuses to accept the official explanation that the disaster is merely an atmospheric distortion. Her instincts as a skilled surveyor tell her that the palace has not simply been moved through ordinary space. When she presses her hands against the castle floor, she feels a deep, rhythmic pulse beneath the stone-a heartbeat that seems to belong to the castle home. Soon the palace shifts again, plunging from frozen mountains into a subterranean world of boiling water, geothermal steam, black basalt, and ancient foundations.Under martial law, Ivy secretly investigates the changing castle. She encounters Surveyor Quinn Meadowbrook, whose measurements and observations support her growing suspicion that Aethelgard is alive. Together they follow cracks, pulses, strange fluids, hidden passages, and dimensional disturbances beneath the palace while the kingdom continues to move through wildly different environments.As the mystery expands, Ivy discovers that the wandering castle is connected to enormous forces beneath its foundations and to places far beyond Aethelgard. The journey carries her and her allies through underground chambers, dangerous landscapes, obsidian barrens, dimensional storms, and regions where gravity and geography no longer behave normally. Political secrecy and royal authority complicate the search for the truth, especially as powerful figures attempt to control what the kingdom learns about its transformation.Ivy must ultimately choose between treating the living kingdom as a disaster to be contained or understanding it as a world capable of carrying its people toward its future. The Wandering Kingdom is an epic fantasy adventure about exploration, courage, family, living architecture, and a kingdom that refuses to remain in one place. Its journey leads from a collapsing royal palace to an open horizon filled with unexplored continents, oceans, and possibilities. Along the way, Ivy's knowledge of stone, gravity, and structure becomes as important as courage, allowing her to investigate a mystery that threatens the meaning of home home.
