The Dark Isle

di Holly D. Ahearne (Autore)

Gollancz, 2027

The fabled Dark Isle is a mystery. Nothing but a patchy shadow on satellite images of the sea. The rumours say it's a land of women, and that only a few lucky men are welcomed. But Ochran sailors keep going missing, and the reality of what happens on the Dark Isle is more than any man can handle... It is not a man's world. Annette is a healer, fiercely loyal to her patients in the shanties of Ochre, and overly protective of her brother Adamn and his weak heart. But when the Ochran Intelligence Agency promises to fund Adamn's surgery in exchange for her participation in a dangerous mission, Annette leaps at the opportunity. All she has to do is sail to the Dark Isle and uncover its secrets. But everything in the Dark Isle is not as it seems, and as Annette falls further undercover and further in love with this idyllic new land, her loyalties are pushed to the limit. On the Dark Isle, Ruthon must compete for the coveted crown to become the next matriarch. She sees the potential the Dark Isle has to conquer other countries and solidify female dominance worldwide; all she has to do is convince the council that it's possible. And when an enticing outsider stumbles into her arms, Ruthon knows she has the perfect opportunity to prove her worth. Relationships are built and destroyed, trust is earnt and then broken, and THE DARK ISLE becomes a battlefield where morality, ambition, and love fight to come out on top.
