A Sorceress Comes to Call export TPB wer. angielska

T. Kingfisher, a USA Today bestselling author, presents a sinister reinterpretation of the Brothers Grimm's "Goose Girl," woven with mystery, murder, and forbidden enchantment. Cordelia is acutely aware of her mother’s peculiar nature. Their home is devoid of internal doors—there's an absence of secrets here—and Cordelia is prohibited from forming friendships, except with Falada, her mother's elegant white horse. She only experiences true liberation during her daily rides with Falada. However, her mother’s oddities are more than superficial. Unlike other parents, her mother can enforce prolonged periods of silence and stillness upon her. Her mother is, in fact, a sorceress. After a mysterious death occurs in their village, Cordelia’s mother decides they must flee under the cover of darkness, riding away on Falada and leaving everything familiar to Cordelia behind. They end up at an isolated country estate owned by a wealthy elder known as the Squire and his unmarried sister, Hester. Cordelia's mother aims to ensnare the Squire into matrimony. Cordelia realizes this spells trouble for the gentle Squire and his warm-hearted, sharp-witted sister. Observant Hester notices Cordelia's fear of her mother and her unnervingly still demeanor at dinner each night. Understanding the stakes, Hester is determined to shield her brother from enchantment and to protect the frightened Cordelia by confronting an evil witch of the worst sort.
