Winter Rose

Winter Rose

by Patricia McKillip (Author)

Synopsis

They said later that he rode into the village on a horse the colour of buttermilk. But I saw him first - as a fall of light. And then as something shaping out of the light. So it seemed. There was a blur of gold: his hair. And then I blinked and saw his face more clearly...' From that moment, Rois is obsessed with Corbett Lynn. His pale green eyes fill her thoughts and her dreams are consumed by tales of his family's dark past. Of son's murdering fathers, of homes fallen to ruin, and of a curse that, as winter draws in, is crawling from the frozen forest to engulf them all.

Media Reviews
If you like fantasy but think that there must be more to it than Tolkeinesque trilogies then perhaps this winter's tale of an eerie romance might be what you are looking for... a thoughtful, poetic read ... full marks for sheer originality MYSHELF.COM Quite charming, evoking a poetic atmosphere which is almost hypnotic SFX
