Descriptions du produit
From Publishers Weekly
On the eve of the French Revolution, the country's commoners are suffering, and one small, starving seacoast village has a final chance for hope: a golden god foreseen by local girl Mariel St. Just's deceased mother. Unfortunately, when Mariel finally spots the golden figure, he's about to set sail. Spunky Mariel, a rather uncommon commoner who can swim underwater like a mermaid, follows his ship to its destination: the secret, magically guarded isle of Aelynn. Despite mutual attraction, the golden man—actually Tristan l'Enforcer, Aelynn's loyal guardian—refuses to help Mariel or her town—so Mariel helps herself, escaping with an old chalice that she sells to buy wheat for her village. Little does she realize that the relic is Aelynn's most powerful sacred artifact, the Chalice of Plenty—and soon Tristan shows up to recover it. As is typical, award-winning author Rice pieces together an intriguing, complex plot, setting the spirited pair against an exiled islander, their growing feelings for each other and two troubled worlds. A fine, fresh series kickoff, Rice's latest is passionate, rich in historical detail and peopled with enough captivating secondary characters to pique readers' curiosity for many volumes to come.

From Booklist
Marial's seer mother predicted that a beautiful golden god would sail in and save the village in a time of famine and disaster. But the man fitting the description is sailing away, so Marial, who has mermaidlike powers and can breathe underwater, grabs onto a trailing rope and is hauled to Aelynn, the secret island where Trystan l'Enforcer and his superstrong, magically talented kind live. Stealing a tarnished chalice when she escapes, Marial has no idea that she has taken one of the greatest treasures of Aelynn. When she returns to France, she trades it for enough wheat to feed her starving village. Soon Trystan is back to find her, not only because of the chalice but because she is the one woman in the world with whom he can have children that will inherit strong magical abilities. As they follow the chalice across France, the reasons for the Revolution become apparent. Rice has skillfully woven together magic, romance, adventure, and French history to create an enticing story.
