Most people see the Travelers as a ragged bunch of musicians, artists, and fortunetellers crossing the country in an old double-decker bus, but these magical creatures are actually the Sídhe, the Fair Folk, an ageless, magical race bringing the light of the ancient mysteries to those who are lost. On an unforgettable night of murder and mayhem, Kathryn meets the Travelers and awakens to her true Fey nature. She and her witchy friend Merrin help the Sídhe find the ones responsible for the bombs, fires, and terror wreaked on the Southside of New Rathmore. Trouble escalates when Robin, son of Puck and Hunter the forest god, is kidnapped. Is Michael Blacker's Fundamentalist Christian cult behind these despicable acts? Can Hunter and the Sídhe rescue Robin before the young god becomes another casualty of this twisted "Inquisition?" COVR Award Winner for Visionary Fiction Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Good fiction writing for adults in which magic features is hard to find sometimes, but if that is what you are looking for, then The Quickening and its [almost] sequel The Shining Isle (ISBN: 0738708348) are what you seek.
The Quickening tells us about Kathryn and her mundane, bland existence and what happens when she comes into contact with a band of people, known as the Travellers. The Shining Isle tells of the same band of Travellers and the story that unfolds when Holly first comes into contact with them whilst visting her Aunt Mim on the Isle of Inishrun (the Shining Isle of the title).
Ly combines the Celtic, Voodoun and asian beliefs to write a fabulous book in The Quickening, but sticks only with the Celtic clans in The Shining Isle. What is very different about these books is Ly has actualy taken the time to provide a glossary for the reader, in case there are any terms which are unfamiliar and, in The Shining Isle, references to sites that may be of interest are also provided.
I just hope that Ly De Angeles continues to write more books. Great summer holiday reading; great anytime reading. (
