A true literary gem Patricia McKilip us here. Lovers (her) wonderful universe of fantasy, this little romance is for you: a poetic pen, light and elegant spring spells and enchantments, kings and witches, castles and underground with many faces. Succession to the throne of the city of Ombria oscillates between light and shade. What then can a woman of wax, driven mistress and illegitimate nephew of the late King?
