Margaret Owen

    Margaret Owen extrae de un rico tapiz de experiencias vitales, desde una infancia transcurrida entre los estantes de Powell’s Books hasta una diversa carrera profesional, todo lo cual informa su narrativa. Su proceso de escritura se caracteriza por una profunda exploración de las lecciones aprendidas a través de cada rol único que ha desempeñado. Ahora dedica sus días a dar vida a personajes cautivadores en la página y a gestionar un hogar, tarea que compara humorísticamente con una negociación de rehenes a largo plazo.

      Kings become outcasts and lovers become foes in The Faithless Hawk, the thrilling sequel to Margaret Owen's The Merciful Crow. As the new chieftain of the Crows, Fie knows better than to expect a royal to keep his word. Still she’s hopeful that Prince Jasimir will fulfill his oath to protect her fellow Crows. But then black smoke fills the sky, signaling the death of King Surimir and the beginning of Queen Rhusana's merciless bid for the throne. With the witch queen using the deadly plague to unite the nation of Sabor against Crows—and add numbers to her monstrous army—Fie and her band are forced to go into hiding, leaving the country to be ravaged by the plague. However, they’re all running out of time before the Crows starve in exile and Sabor is lost forever. A desperate Fie calls on old allies to help take Rhusana down from within her own walls. But inside the royal palace, the only difference between a conqueror and a thief is an army. To survive, Fie must unravel not only Rhusana’s plot, but ancient secrets of the Crows—secrets that could save her people, or set the world ablaze.

      "Una futura jefa tribal. Fie se guía por solo una regla: "Cuida de los tuyos". Su casta, los Cuervos encargados de los muertos y de impartir la eutanasia, recibe más maltratos que monedas; pero cuando son llamados a retirar difuntos de la nobleza, ella tiene la esperanza de conseguirles la paga de sus vidas. Un príncipe fugitivo. Cuando descubre que el príncipe heredero Jasimir ha fingido su muerte, Fie está dispuesta a evitar mayores pérdidas ... o quizás matarlo ella misma. Pero él le ofrece un trato al que no puede negarse: si lo protegen de la despiadada reina, él protegerá a los Cuervos cuando suba al trono. Un guardaespaldas demasiado astuto. El guerrero Halcón Tavin siempre ha puesto la vida de Jas antes que la suya: ha adoptado la apariencia del príncipe con magia y se ha convertido en su sombra. Pero ¿qué ocurrirá cuando Tavin comience a desear tener algo propio!"--
