The Wolf Sisters - Susan Price

. .

Résumé :
Kenelm is an Atheling, a prince of the Blood-Royal. A descendent of the god, Woden. His uncle is the King. Kenelm had thought to live his life as a warrior: fighting, feasting and marrying a beautiful princess. But his uncle gave him to a monastery, to live and die as a Christian monk. Kenelm feels betrayed but is bound by his oath of loyalty to his king. So he digs the monastery's vegetable garden and dreams of the life he might have had. Then comes a message from the king. He has a mission that only Kenelm can undertake. Kenelm must carry a royal message into the dark wood. To the Wolf Sisters.

Biographie:
I was firmly convinced that I decided to become an author at the age of seven, after reading Kipling's Jungle Books - until I was talking to my aunt recently.

She told me that she remembered me marching up to her and my grandmother, putting my hands on my hips and announcing,'When I grow up I'm going to be a writer!'

My father signed my first publishing contract, because I was 16, and under-age. I'd have been fairly happy if that had been my one and only book. But luck was with me, and I've gone on to publish something like 60 books, for different ages and in different genres...
