À propos de cet audio

 The acclaimed author of Sistersong transforms the story of Herla and the Wild Hunt into a rich, feminist fantasy in this stunning tale of two great warriors, a war-torn land, and an ancient magic that is slowly awakening.

Britain, 60AD. Hoping to save her lover, her land, and her people from the Romans, Herla makes a desperate pact with the king of the Otherworld. But years pass unheeded in his realm, and she escapes to find everyone she loved long dead. Cursed to wield his blade, she becomes Lord of the Hunt. And for centuries, she rides, leading her immortal warriors and reaping wanderers’ souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody battlefield—a Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes.

Queen Æthelburg of Wessex is a proven fighter. But when she leads her forces to disaster in battle, her husband’s court turns against her. Yet King Ine needs Æthel more than ever. Something dark and dangerous is at work in the Wessex court. His own brother seeks to usurp him. And their only hope is the magic in Ine’s bloodline that’s lain dormant since ancient days.

The moment she and Æthel meet, Herla knows it’s no coincidence. The dead kings are waking. The Otherworld seeks to rise, to bring the people of Britain under its dominion. And as Herla and Æthel grow closer, Herla must find her humanity—and a way to break the curse—before it’s too late. Fantastique Historique Redevances Guerrier Magique

Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland


Is spellbinding.


I cannot tell you how long I waited for this book to be released. Probably ever since finishing Sistersong.


The story once again is told from at least 3 peoples perspective, and again it is full of LGBTQA+ people! We follow Herla, who is cursed, as she comes alive (again) meeting Æthelburg, Queen of Wessex, a glorious fighter and defender of her realm. We also meet Ine King who cannot seem to give to Æthelburg all that she needs, but we are unclear as to why.


There are warring kingdoms, heathens, and political bickering and infighting that makes a great backdrop to the magic that seeps into this land taking root in someone very unexpectedly that poses to shift the very land they have all built lives upon.


The novel is breathtaking and intriguing, bringing in themes of love and loyalty and what happens when they come against duty and societal expectations. The exploration of sexuality and the damage lack of communication and words can do not only to one’s self but those they interact with, was very well done. And a great lesson to all, that when trying not to hurt others, we at times hurt them more.


The emotions are raw and fully felt. History is borrowed and twisted. There are also wonderful battle scenes and secondary characters that make this novel very well rounded and fascinating. The ending is so true to life it’s haunting.


This book is for anyone who enjoyed Sistersong, retellings, ancient magic, historical stories and epics.


Magical Perfection!
