AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'After fleeing from the burning ruins of Saardam, Johanna, Prince Roald, Loesie and Nellie have been captured by a group of bandits and are being taken to a place unknown through a forest rife with magic. Loesie, struck mute by an unknown but powerful sorcerer, is behaving increasingly strange. The friends try to escape, but is Loesie helping them or is she a danger to them?

'Every step they take through the ghost-ridden forest brings them closer to the duke who is rumoured to be the source of the evil magic, the necromancer whose anger against Saarland’s royal family has lain the world to waste.'

    'The complete series omnibus of the For Queen And Country series.

    'As daughter of a river trader in the kingdom of Saarland, Johanna doesn't want to marry or do "ladies' things", she wants to take over her father's business.

    'The choice is not hers to make. The kingdom is in trouble. The crown princess has died and the king's only other child, prince Roald, is unfit to reign, even if no one knows why. In his despair the king has given a lot of money to the church of the Triune and plunged the kingdom deep into debt.

    'Johanna's father has money. He has a daughter. Johanna agrees to a dance with the prince.

    'No, she does not fall in love--far from it, but love is the least she needs to worry about. First, she has to deal with betrayal, ghosts, fire demons, wizards and necromancers.'

    'Ghosts, demons, wizards and a kingdom in trouble.

    'As the only child of a successful merchant, Johanna has her wits and a sense for business.

    'The royal family is in deep trouble: ever since the crown princess died of illness, the king has attempted to educate his son to become king. However, the prince is “not good in the head” and quite unsuited to the task. In his grief for his daughter, the king has run the coffers dry: he hired dubious magicians for even more dubious tasks. Those magicians circle like vultures waiting for the kingdom to fail. The king must get his son on the throne, preferably supported by a smart and well-off wife.

    'He holds a ball in his son’s honour. Johanna has agreed to a dance. But the guests include a number of magicians who are not there for the festivities.

    'This collection of the first three books in the series has all the ghosts, demons and evil magic you ever wanted, and a strong heroine to deal with them all.'
