Staff Reviews
"If you’re a fan of Disney Pixar’s "Brave," this is an adaptation in which the film is canon and follows up on Merida’s story, but you do not need to have seen the film in order to appreciate this engrossing read! Twenty-year-old Merida is independent as ever, preferring adventure and archery to embroidery and marriage proposals. The Scottish princess, however, comes face-to-face with the god Feradach, who threatens to destroy all that she holds dear unless she can figure out a way to save her family and kingdom before time runs out. Stiefvater’s expertise in writing medieval fantasy is evident. Not to miss!" YA, 12+ --Reviewed by Cristina
Description
An instant New York Times Bestseller!
What if you had one year to save everything you loved?
ONE PRINCESS. Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her family—jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets— and her peaceful kingdom. But she’s frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge – maybe even, someday, love.
TWO GODS. But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to demolish the realm – and everyone within. Only the intervention of the Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope: convince her family to change within the year – or suffer the eternal consequences.
THREE VOYAGES. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all – herself?
FOUR SEASONS TO SAVE DUNBROCH – OR SEE IT DESTROYED, FOREVER.
