内容説明
Daughter Of Exile is the story of Lady Angarred Hashan-raised in exile far from Pergodi, the capital city, by her bitter father. Angarred never knew what had caused her father's exile; he was distant and obsessed with regaining his place at Court. Her mother was long dead, and she was reared by the few remaining servants in their crumbling manor house. One day, while hunting in the forest, Lord Hashan was murdered. Angarred, in her outrage, determines to go to the capital and seek justice from the King-for surely, even an exiled Lord is immune from murder! But the naive young woman finds a swirling world of palace intrigue, a dying Queen, and an ensorcelled King. With the help of Matthewar, a handsome, but very troubled, magician, and a family she had been taught to hate, she journeys from the crowded streets of Pergodi to the Enchanted Forest, from the deadly land of the Others to the arches of the Giant's Bridge, as she begins to unravel the secrets of the kingdom and her own past.
From Publishers Weekly
Romance fans looking for an entr into fantasy could do worse than to start with Glass's accessible debut, which includes nearly every convention of the genre, from giants, shape-changers and zombie-like creatures to civil war, dungeons and some mild torture. In the kingdom of Kerededin, spunky young Lady Angarred Hashan lives with her widowed father, Lord Challo Hashan, at their backwoods estate, Hashan Hall. Having been exiled from King Tezue's court 14 years earlier, Lord Hashan is too obsessed with plotting his revenge to pay much attention to the upbringing of his headstrong daughter. When a hired assassin kills Lord Hashan with a single arrow shot while he's hunting in the forest, Angarred has her own terrible wrong to right. First, she travels to the capital city of Pergodi to seek an audience with the king to beg for justice. Later, she journeys hither and yon with Mathewar, a magician she meets in Pergodi, to discover who's behind the evil besetting the court. Characters tend to deal with each other in a straightforward manner that never raises any questions about their motives. After many romantic turns and much metaphoric fluttering of eyelashes, Angarred has to make some hard choices among her various suitors. Those who like their fantasy with deeper layers of meaning should go elsewhere.
