The Poison Throne

Book 1 of the Moorehawke Trilogy

by Celine Kiernan

Wow!  This is a well crafted story.  It is a fantasy, set in medieval Europe. The main character is a 15-year-old maiden, Wynter Moorehawke.  Wynter has grown-up with her friends: one being the heir to the throne; and the other is the King's illegitimate son. The King disowns his heir and reassigns that undesired status to his illegitimate son.

I could not put this book down, and can hardly wait to get my hands on Book 2 - The Crowded Shadows.

Recommended to anybody who loved Harry Potter, and for all ages from Intermediate upwards.
