Mount Thionx - Moraine, Ana

. .

Résumé :
On her ninth birthday, Laina embarks on a dangerous journey through unknown land on a quest to find her mother. Joined by her comical cousin Sue, Laina is gifted a magical ring. Living inside is her new tutor, the cranky Sir Leopold the Third, whose wisdom guides her and helps her stand bravely on her own. The girls are trained in archery and sword fighting and are eventually joined by the handsome young warrior, Prince Alexander. Meanwhile, the insidious Lord Marco has vowed to capture Laina and bring her to his king, who feels threatened by Laina and the powers she has yet to discover. Laina is not the only one with powers; her missing mother has them, too, and the king fears she will use them to overpower him and instill order and goodness in the land. Will the youthful, inexperienced force of Laina, Sue, and Alexander be enough to fight off Lord Marco and rescue Laina's mother? Wherever they go, evil lurks in the shadows, and one misstep could prove fatal.
