Moorehawke Trilogy by Celine Kiernan

Before I say anything else I want to say: We have the most beautiful covers for this book in Australia. Isn't it lovely? The picture in no ways does it justice!

Moorehawke Trilogy - Book 1
The Poison Throne
By Celine Kiernan

    Wynter and her father have been abroad, and when they return home they find things not how they left them.
    King Jonathan has turned into a tyrant, Crown prince Alberon is missing, and Razi (the illegitimate son) is being forced to take the place of his missing brother. On top of this, the ghosts are being ignored, the cats are forbidden to talk any more and there is hushed talk of a terrible weapon, that was said to be destroyed years ago, may be making a comeback.
    What could have cause such a change in the kingdom in the few years they were gone? Now her extended family has been torn apart, Wynter must try and repair the damage and heal a kingdom in much need of help.

    If you like Tamora Pierce or Phillip Pullman, then Kiernan is a must try.
