A knightly fairy tale of royalty and dragons, of midwives with
secrets and dashing strangers in dark inns. Taking the original
French legend as his starting point, The Story of
Silence is a rich, multilayered new story for today’s world
– sure to delight fans of Uprooted and The Bear and the
Nightingale. “Utterly enchanting” Publishers Weekly There was
once, long ago, a foolish king who decreed that women should not,
and would not, inherit. Thus when a girl-child was born to Lord
Cador – Merlin-enchanted fighter of dragons and Earl of Cornwall
– he secreted her away: to be raised a boy so that the family
land and honour would remain intact. That child’s name was
Silence. Silence must find their own place in a medieval world that
is determined to place the many restrictions of gender and class
upon them. With dreams of knighthood and a lonely heart to answer,
Silence sets out to define themselves. Soon their silence will be
ended.
