by Mariani Thomas

  

€ 28.00 

ISBN: 9782383495000

A modern and magical retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

Dragons, magic, and political plots shake the floating island of Messina.

Dive into a baroque Italy, between marriage and jealousy. Let the muse ignite the theater of our intrigue, Give us a celestial kingdom as a stage, princes for actors, And heroines to animate these epic tableaux. It is your thoughts that must now embark on our flying ships.

Raised on the flying city of Messina, between magic and wyverns, fabulous winged creatures, Hero has always followed her heart. So when she falls in love with the knight Claudio and Prince Pedro of Aragon supports their engagement, the young girl is fulfilled. But this support actually serves a complex game of lies, jealousy, and power between the powers that rule their world. All around, war rages, a dragon threatens, and Messina is coveted more than ever, making Hero the key to seizing it. Doubts assail her: is her union just a pretext to seize it? And what to think of her old childhood friend with a sulphurous reputation, Juan of Aragon?

Hero's wedding approaches and the dangers grow. The young heiress of Messina and skilled dragon hunter will have to summon all her courage to save her city and her tarnished honor, at the risk of losing everything.
