Ergebnis für "George Sand" in Historische Krimis

This novel is based on Arthur Conan Doyle's extraordinary real-life fight for justice. Arthur and George grow up worlds and miles apart in late 19th-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of a small Staffordshire village. Arthur becomes a doctor, and then a writer, George a solicitor in Birmingham. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age; George remains in hardworking obscurity. But as the new century begins, they are brought together by a sequence of events which made sensational headlines at the time as The Great Wyrley Outrages.

A cursed kingdom. A princess marked for sacrifice. A fallen dragon-slayer with nothing to lose. When Princess Selene's name is drawn from the lottery drum on the night of the full moon, she doesn't run—she hunts. Teaming up with George, a legendary warrior haunted by his past, she journeys through a twisted nightmare forest to confront the ancient dragon that has feasted on her kingdom's maidens for centuries.
