The founding story of the Red Abbey Chronicles, Naondel is a spellbinding tale of finding strength in friendship and never giving up hope, even in the darkest of timesIn the opulent palace of Ohaddin, women have one purpose - to obey.Some were brought here as girls, captured and enslaved; some as servants; some as wives. All of them must do what the Master tells them, for he wields a deadly and secret power.But the women have powers too. One is a healer. One can control dreams. One is a warrior. One can see everything that is coming.In their golden prison, the women wait. They plan. They write down their stories. They dream of a refuge, a safe place where girls can be free.And, finally, when the moon glows red, they will have their revenge.Maria Turtschaninoff was born in 1977 and has been writing fairy tales since she was five.
