About Marie Brennan

Marie Brennan is a former anthropologist and folklorist who shamelessly pillages her academic fields for inspiration. She has recently misapplied her professors' hard work to the short novel DRIFTWOOD and TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT, a sequel to the Hugo Award-nominated Victorian adventure series The Memoirs of Lady Trent. The first book of that series, A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS, was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Her other works include the Doppelganger duology, the urban fantasy Wilders series, the Onyx Court historical fantasies, the Varekai novellas, and nearly sixty short stories, as well as the New Worlds series of worldbuilding guides. Together with Alyc Helms as M.A. Carrick, she is the author of the upcoming Rook and Rose epic fantasy trilogy, beginning with THE MASK OF MIRRORS in January 2021.

“You, dear reader, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart—no more so than the study of dragons itself…” From Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, Isabella, Lady Trent is known to be the world’s preeminent dragon naturalist. She is the remarkable woman who brought the study of dragons out of the misty shadows of myth into the clear light of modern science. But before she became the illustrious figure we know today, there was a bookish young woman whose passion for learning and natural history defied the stifling conventions of her day. Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, her prospects and her fragile flesh to satisfy her scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love and happiness despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the perilous mountains of Vystrana, where she made the first of many historic discoveries that would change the world forever.

“During these years I found myself accused of fornication, high treason, and status as the worst mother in all of Scirland...” Attentive readers are already familiar with how a bookish young woman named Isabella first set out on the historic course that would lead her to becoming the world's premier dragon naturalist. Three years after her journey through Vystrana, the illustrious (and occasionally scandalous) Lady Trent defies convention to embark on an expedition to the war-torn continent of Eriga, home of the legendary swamp-wyrm. Accompanied by an old associate and a runaway heiress, Isabella must brave oppressive heat, palace intrigues, gossip, and other hazards in order to satisfy her fascination with all things draconian, even if it means venturing deep into the forbidden jungle known as the Green Hell... where her courage, resourcefulness, and scientific curiosity will be tested as never before. “[U]ncompromisingly honest and forthright... with a heroine at once admirable, formidable and captivating. Reader, lose no time in making Isabella's acquaintance.” Kirkus (starred review) “Marie Brennan brings dragons into the Victorian world, and flawlessly so... [It] gives fantasy readers another good reason to enter Brennan's fantastical world.” Washington Post “Every bit as exciting and engrossing as the first part of Lady Trent's memoir. Isabella's strength and bravery in the name of scientific advancement... is beyond admirable—she's a model protagonist.” RT book reviews “Lady Trent makes for an intrepid and pleasingly independent protagonist, mastering challenges both emotional and physical.” Publishers Weekly

₹ 980.70

Vor sieben Jahren verschwand Elizas Jugendliebe von den Straßen von Whitechapel. Niemand glaubte ihr, als sie erzählte, dass er von den Feen entführt wurde.

Aber sie hat die Suche nicht aufgegeben. Diese wird sie durch ganz London und in den verborgenen Palast führen, der Feen in der sterblichen Welt Zuflucht bietet. Doch diese Zuflucht bröckelt nun, vom Metall der unterirdischen Eisenbahn durchbrochen.

Drei Jahrhunderte, die der Onyxhof überdauert hat, kommen nun an ein Ende. Ohne den Schutz des Palasts haben die Fae keine andere Wahl, als zu fliehen. Jene, die bleiben, haben nur ein Ziel: Sicherheit in einer Stadt zu finden, die sie nicht willkommen heißt. Doch welchen Preis werden die Sterblichen von London für jene Sicherheit zahlen?
