内容简介

"Compton Crook Award winner" "When hikers Dayna and Eric find a young woman naked, terrified, and speechless, they're sure she's the victim of foul play. But the truth is much more shocking: she isn't human at all. She's Dun Lady's Jess, a horse transformed into this new shape by the spell that brought her and her rider, to whom she is utterly devoted, into this world. Posessed now of human intelligence but still a horse deep inside, Jess desperately searches this world for her master and rider, using her fiery equine spirit to take on human idiosyncracies - and human threats." "Dun Lady's Jess" is a blend of adventure, magic, and romance that spans our world and its richly imagined fantasy counterpart. Horse become human, Jess is spirited and intelligent, seeing our world through a unique perspective. Pursued by evil, she must find a way not only to save her rider and both worlds, but also to keep who she has become. "Horses, heroics, and magic - a great combination I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Dun Lady's Jess," a spirited and daring novel. I couldn't put it down." -- "Kristen Britain, author of Green Rider and First Rider's Call." ""Dun Lady's Jess" is everything a great fantasy ought to be: exciting, moving, and utterly original. Doranna Durgin has spun a marvelous tale, set it in a world that feels as real as our own, and populated that world with characters who will stay with you long after you read the final page. An excellent book, which I highly recommend." -- "David B. Coe, author of "Winds of the Forelands" and "The LonTobyn Chronicle.
