Beschreibung

Abrielle wasn't sure how she transformed the leaves of a tree into larks when she was eight, living at a Norman château in 1198. She doesn't really know how majik works. But in her twenties, at a pivotal impasse between factions, she's desperately trying to understand her abilities. The lives of her family and friends-barons, merchants, clergy, and peasants-would improve if liberties were secured in the laws of England. The risks they take to write the charter and procure King John's seal in 1215 doesn't ensure his compliance.

Abrielle doesn't need to act alone if her premonitions could change the course of fate. She must find the courage and audacity to direct the energy of transformation, then trust the participants to fly with it.

Leaves or Larks is a tale of medieval life with characters who recognize the stakes of forcing a ruthless king to capitulate to their demands. Descendants of Norman families who know the land allocated by one King of England could be taken by another. Knights embroiled in royal service, placating to secure their legacy. An earl's son disguised as a monk to learn the clergy's intentions. A merchant's clandestine ventures, appealing to wealthy barons to pursue objectives beyond their selfish agenda. A troupe of wayward youth engaged in spying, hoping a better future secures a roof over their heads. A bandit who becomes a fashion connoisseur. What else is he supposed to do with trunks of clothes he's "acquired?" A young woman who learns just enough majik to concoct a scheme, uplifting the accord that came to be known as the Magna Carta.
