Nothing is more important than loyalty. But what if you've sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy? Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of 11. If she’s picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: Kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust. Tarisai won't stand by and become someone’s pawn--but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself? With extraordinary world-building and breathtaking prose, Raybearer is the story of loyalty, fate, and the lengths we're willing to go for the ones we love.

Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko Pdf

Il primo volume di una potente epopea fantasy ambientata in un mondo ricco di tradizioni magiche, leggende e riti ancestrali, ma anche colmo di segreti pericolosi. Tarisai ha sempre desiderato il calore di una famiglia: è cresciuta in isolamento, nel selvaggio e lussureggiante regno di Swana. Sua madre, Lady, è una donna potente e temuta, che non le ha mai dimostrato affetto e che la spedisce nella Città di Oluwan, la capitale dell’impero arit, a competere con altri bambini per entrare a far parte del Concilio del principe Dayo, l’erede al trono. Undici di loro verranno selezionati per essere consacrati attraverso il potere del Raggio, che li legherà a vita al futuro imperatore impegnandoli a proteggerlo. Ma il destino di Tarisai è segnato da un crudele incantesimo di Lady, che vuole che la figlia uccida il principe, invece di amarlo e difenderlo. Tarisai è davvero obbligata a essere la pedina nei giochi politici di sua madre? In una capitale piena di intrighi e magia, la giovane dovrà decidere chi considerare davvero la sua famiglia e a chi, invece, voltare le spalle. Nulla conta più della lealtà. Ma cosa accade quando giuri di proteggere colui che sei nata per distruggere? L’esordiente Jordan Ifueko, nuovo fenomeno del fantasy americano, si è ispirata alle terre dell’Africa occidentale per dare vita a un’avventura dal ritmo serrato sul conflitto tra dovere e giustizia, lealtà e amore, obbedienza e autodeterminazione. «Non meritiamo il fardello che i nostri genitori ci hanno imposto. Però non possiamo sconfiggere mostri che non affrontiamo».
