The Moon in Hiding

The Green Lion trilogy #2

by Teresa Edgerton

A magic mist, an enchanted falcon, and a chest of ancient bones--these are the elements of a royal mystery in Celydonn, a once-peaceful kingdom. But since the arrival of scheming Princess Diaspad to the court, the troubles of Celydonn are many, and the truth obscured. The allied talents of the wizard Glastyn's apprentice, Teleri, and Ceilyn, the kingdom's most virtuous knight, brought an uncertain peace to Celydonn. But when a casket of ancient kings' bones is robbed from its sepulchre, suspicious and accusing eyes turn to Ceilyn. And when rituals long forgotten are performed on a moonless night, the dread word "witch" burns Teleri's ears.

About the author

I believe I began telling stories as soon as I learned to talk. More than sixty years later I am still inventing them.

On paper, my life looks more glamorous than it was in actual fact (most peoples' lives do). My husband and I met at our local Renaissance Faire. I've made and sold puppets, spent twenty years as a professional fortuneteller, worked in a craft store, and been an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. My hobbies are Halloween and Christmas.

Currently, I am working as an editor for Tickety Boo Press, heading a new imprint Venus Ascending, which will be publishing fantasy and science fiction romance novels. For submission guidelines http://www.ticketyboopress.co.uk/tere...

My own published work includes eleven fantasy novels, written under my own name and my pseudonym, Madeline Howard, as well as short fiction, reviews, interviews, and articles on writing.

I live with my husband, two adult children, a son-in-law, two grandsons, assorted pets, and more books than you might think would fit in the remaining space.

Reviews

[Meredith Galman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another gorgeously written story, in this second segment the focus shifts away from Teleri and Ceilyn toward Fflergant, Tryffin, and Garanwyn. Many exciting and portentous things are foretold; too bad most of them aren't fulfilled by the end of this trilogy . . . or even the end of the next trilogy.

Reread.

I can't remember what I thought of Teleri and Ceilyn's rather tepid romance when I was younger.

[April · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay... the first was slow to start, but I let myself get bogged down in how the author wanted me to pronounce names... but the story captured me... this second one moved fast, caught me early and has kept me eagerly reading to the end! Must. Read. Number. Three.

I've read this series over 50 times. It's like macaroni and cheese.
