GREENHAELAN - Webster, L. A.

. .

Résumé :
Self-employed gardener Sara Martin has known from childhood that gardens are enchanted places. But she never expected the magic to be literal. Miraculously swept away to a landscape dying in the grip of an ecological disaster, Sara discovers that the enchantment is as real as the danger. And when a forbidden healing power manifests in her, she is forced to question everything she has built her life on. Uncertain how far she can trust her outlaw companions, pursued by an enemy intent on her destruction, Sara must decide how much she is willing to risk for a place and a people that are not her own. And she will be forced to face the question: what is the price for choosing a safe, little life? Greenhaelan is Book One of the Chronicles of Algarth.

Newly retired, she experienced a deep yearning to explore a brand-new destination and share its stories. After a few false starts and wrong turns, she found herself, along with her protagonist Sara Martin, on the magical island of Algarth, where she's been spending most of her fictional time ever since. Lyn lives, writes and gardens in regional Australia, another strange and wondrous land, with her husband and a small enthusiastic dog.
