Very on trend at the moment with His Dark Materials - With privilege comes obligation and people waiting for you to find your animal transforms. What happens when everyone is looking at you? A story of royalty, obligation, friendship and loyalty. Lady Aderyn, 17 years of age, Her Grace, Protector of the Dominion of Atratys, becomes the sole mistress of Merl Castle and all the lands that belong to it when her father dies. The story flies and is written evocatively and colourfully. Great read.
