The Gatherer - Kit Trzebunia

. .

Résumé :
A coming-of-age fantasy tale of healing, purpose and the true nature of love. A wrong should always be addressed, Peregrine, but you cannot always make the scales come out even. There will be times in your life when you must bear a heavier load than someone else,simply because you can. In the quiet kingdom of Moran, legend tells of two powers that arise in times of crisis. Growing up in the forests of Blackwood as the daughter of a King's Ranger, Peregrine trains weaponry and learns the healing arts, never dreaming those tall tales could affect her own life-no matter what the animals call her. After her beloved father vanishes into the deadly White River that separates Moran from the vast, magical empire of Din Sul, Peregrine struggles to find her calling. Does the title the animals gave her fit into a bigger picture? Is there a counterpart who might finally understand her unique gifts? Then the Spear Prince of Moran turns Peregrine's small world upside down with a secret of his own. When Din Sul targets the prince, Peregrine will do whatever it takes to save him. But how could an inexperienced young warrior possibly outwit a powerful mage? And how does a broken healer find healing? Fans of Robin McKinley's Chalice and Spindle's End and of Patricia A. McKillip's The Forgotten Beasts of Eld will delight in Peregrine's connection with nature and her journey towards a place of belonging....
