The silence seems peaceful, but lurking under it is a deep malevolence, scores of ugly and violent secrets kept by cast-off mistresses and abandoned daughters. Ever-greedy, the father brings in Alienor, a woman who promises to make the lands give even more of themselves; the plants will flourish, the animals will multiply, each feast will be more sumptuous than the last. The father thinks the stage is set to satisfy his every desire, but Alienor will bring a new script, one in which the hunters are hunted and a new reign will begin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830037074078,"sku":"ADS-9781552454480","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781552454480.jpg?v=1778558690","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781552454480","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
