![]() Meanwhile, Talis, the young prince of Pelucir, discovers a spell book whose spells go dangerously awry. His exile is disturbed by visions of an immortal Queen in a summer wood, who cries the word “sorrow” in his dreams. Twenty years later, no one really understands what happened on Hunter’s Field, least of all Atrix Wolfe. ![]() The Hunter not only ends the war and destroys the army of Kardeth, it also murders the king of Pelucir before disappearing. In his anger he creates something more terrible than war, a Hunter whose essence seems to be siege distilled: fear, cold, famine, death. When the keep of Pelucir is besieged by the armies of Kardeth, Wolfe casts a spell to end the hated war. The Book of Atrix Wolfe is a fairy tale, one for adults, in which the dangers are dark indeed, and the rewards are delicious.Ītrix Wolfe is the legendary wizard of Chaumenard, a wise man, shape-changer and teacher. But I find something irresistibly romantic about the concept of an immortal, summertime faery-wood that exists alongside our own world, populated by powerful, beautiful beings. ![]() ![]() Patricia McKillip’s The Book of Atrix Wolfe is not a romance novel, though it contains a sweet, subtly inconclusive love story. ![]()
