The king wants to harness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n the fabled water source from which magic flows to secure his reign, and Lorelei is determined to\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n prove herself and to make her dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n faraway lands.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader—Lorelei’s beloved mentor—is\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are her five remaining expedition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n mates. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic rival, the\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von Wolff. Now in charge of the\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before the murderer strikes again—and a coup begins in\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n earnest.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n But other dangers lurk in the dark: forests that rearrange themselves at night, rivers with\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n slumbering dragons hiding beneath the water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood. As Lorelei\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n and Sylvia grudgingly work together to uncover the truth—and resist their growing feelings for\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n each other—they discover that their leader had secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n question whether justice is worth pursuing, and if this kingdom is worth saving at all.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46661147328670,"sku":"HPC-9781837840618","price":42.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781837840618.jpg?v=1775013523","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781837840618","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
