‘…In a distant time and far-off kingdom, life is hard…there’s little to offer hope, and many turn to the legends of Jackaroo…Hidden away…Gwyn discovers a package – a cloak, a mask, a sword…Jackaroo?’ If you like historical fantasy you will enjoy this as you read of Gwyn, a strong minded sixteen-year-old innkeeper’s daughter, as she gets caught into the legend, and ‘…as she comes to know what part she will play in discovering the truth…’ Cynthia Voigt is a master storyteller whose stories are very believable and realistic and you won’t want to put them down. There are others in this Kingdom Sequence – On fortune’s wheel and Elske that follow. She has also written the award-winning Tillerman novels.
