Teresa Edgerton's acclaimed debut novel available again after thirty years, and now in ebook for the first time.The wizard Glastyn, defender of the realm, tamer of the Wild Magic, had disappeared, leaving behind a disillusioned king and an order of complacent and indolent knights. The Princess Diaspad, royal step-sister, worker of wicked magics, thought this would be a good time to move into the castle and make a play for power.Who could stop her?Teleri was Glastyn's apprentice, and had only completed part of her training when Glastyn had left. At the age of twelve she had made up her mind against growing any older and used what magic she had to make it so. Half-trained wizards who happened to be female always ran the risk of accusations of witchcraft, which was illegal and punishable by death. So she cultivated a type of invisibility, the kind that largely depended on being small and harmless-looking-most of all on not drawing attention to herself.Ceilyn was the most valiant young knight in the castle, widely known as a moral example to all-and deeply resented on both counts. But Ceilyn had a secret, one that could prove deadly. It also, surprisingly, drew him to Teleri, as the only person he dared trust with the truth. And once they became friends, it seemed it was somehow up to them to stop whatever the Princess was up to. But had they the ability to thwart her, or were they putting themselves into inescapable danger: Teleri by being noticed, and Ceilyn by accidentally revealing his own secrets?Edgerton spins history, mythology, magic, and alchemy into a fascinating web of chance and circumstance.Editorial Reviews"A grand story told with sly wit, CHILD OF SATURN will gain Teresa Edgerton a devoted following." -Raymond E.
