| Book description |
Bronwyn, Crown Princess of Argonia, was born under an unlucky star. Not only was she a strapping, awkward, hot-tempered girl ill-suited to palace life, but she’d been cursed at birth with a spell that made her tell nothing but lies! When war broke out between Argonia and Albemarle, Queen Amberwine sent Bronwyn away to keep her out of trouble - to her cousin Carole, who’d inherited the gift of musical magic from her hearthwitch mother and minstrel father. But where Bronwyn went, trouble followed, and soon they were hip-deep in sorcerers, sirens, sea serpents, mercenary mages and malevolent monsters. Joined by a princess-turned-swan and a less-than-fearless Gypsy lad, Bronwyn and Carole set off on an adventure-filled quest to end the war, heal a blighted land, and lift Bronwyn’s Bane once and for all.  | |
