Produktbeschreibung

"Fantasy fans will appreciate this lyrical, character-driven story about a unique girl learning to find her place in an inhospitable world" (Booklist). As the only heir to the throne, Marni should have been surrounded by wealth and privilege, not living in exile-but now the time has come when she must choose between claiming her birthright as princess of a realm whose king wants her dead, and life with the father she has never known: a wild dragon who is sending his magical woods to capture her. Fans of Bitterblue and Seraphina will be captured by A Creature of Moonlight, with its richly layered storytelling and the powerful choices its strong heroine must make. "Hahn writes with such beauty and persuasion that she could make me believe in anything. . . . This is a rare and special book." -Kristin Cashore, New York Times-bestselling author "The fairy-tale world . . . is richly woven, laced with such delicate details that when you close your eyes it's impossible not to see the thin blue dragon flowers or hear the whispering leaves beckoning you into the thicket. This story engages every sense, and burrows into your imagination." -The New York Times Book Review
