Naamah's Kiss

Non c'era la discussione sul settimo libro di Jacqueline ambientato nel mondo che abbiamo imparato a conoscere e ad amare con la prima e con la seconda trilogia (o che presto impareremo a conoscere per intero con la seconda trilogia XD) ... così ho pensato di aprirla, per quanto striminzita possa essere .

Alcune brevi notizie tratte dal sito della Carey...

[...] An amazing trip to China, where I was able to absorb the landscape in a way that will bring to life passages in Naamah's Kiss I could never have envisioned through academic research alone. [...]

Lots of folks wrote this past month to ask about my current work in progress. I'm writing a new trilogy set in the Terre d'Ange milieu, only a few generations later with a new cast of characters. The first book, Naamah's Kiss, will be out in June 2009. Regular visitors may recall that I mentioned finishing the manuscript back in September, and wonder why they have to wait so long. So I thought I'd give you all a bit of insight into the process, since there's plenty of time to discuss this book and others in the months to come (and I will, I promise).

Da Amazon qualcosa di più articolato:


Once there were great magicians born to the Maghuin Dhonn; the folk of the Brown Bear, the oldest tribe in Alba. But generations ago, the greatest of them all broke a sacred oath sworn in the name of all his people. Now, only small gifts remain to them. Through her lineage, Moirin possesses such gifts - the ability to summon the twilight and conceal herself, and the skill to coax plants to grow.

Moirin has a secret, too. From childhood onward, she senses the presence of unfamiliar gods in her life; the bright lady, and the man with a seedling cupped in his palm. Raised in the wilderness by her reclusive mother, it isn't until she comes of age that Moirin learns how illustrious, if mixed, her heritage is. The great granddaughter of Alais the Wise, child of the Maghuin Donn, and a cousin of the Cruarch of Alba, Moirin learns her father was a D'Angeline priest dedicated to serving Naamah, goddess of desire.

After Moirin undergoes the rites of adulthood, she finds divine acceptance...on the condition that she fulfill an unknown destiny that lies somewhere beyond the ocean. Or perhaps oceans. Beyond Terre d'Ange where she finds her father, in the far reaches of distant Ch'in, Moirin's skills are a true gift when facing the vengeful plans of an ambitious mage, a noble warrior princess desperate to save her father's throne, and the spirit of a celestial dragon.

... e la notizia *sempre da proveniente (quindi presumo sia più che attendibile ^^) dal sito di Jacqueline* che il suo nuovo lavoro uscirà nel Giugno 2009.
Conviene tenere d'occhio il sito, si parla anche di altri progetti interessanti qui e lì . Se volete dare un'occhiata, cliccate qui di seguito: http://www.jacquelinecarey.com/
Ed intanto speriamo che la Nord si sbrighi ad acquistare i diritti della seconda trilogia e che inizino subito a tradurla XD.
