And though the kingdom has been safe from ravages of necromancers and Free Magic creatures for a long time, there is now a Free Magic creature active in Belisaere itself, and it too has an interest in Clariel… King Orrikan III refuses to rule AND refuses to appoint a regent to rule in his place, and since his heir Princess Tathiel is missing, power-hungry people have stepped into the void – and since Clariel is a cousin of the king and one of his closest living relatives, they want to control her. Her parents want to arrange either an apprenticeship or marriage for her. Unfortunately, others have their own schemes, and they involve Clariel. However, her parents bring her to Belisaere, the capital city, which to Clariel feels like a prison with too many people and not enough trees.Ĭlariel schemes to get away from the city as soon as possible and return to the forest around Estwael. Seventeen-year-old Clariel loves being the forest around the town of Estwael, and dreams of becoming a Borderer so she can live in the forest and serve the kingdom. So, this is another book that I’ve read for my Myster Grab Bag Ace Fiction Month. I like this cover better than the cover of the US edition. Cover of the Australian edition of Clariel.
