El desafío del ángel

by Sarah Singleton

En el tiempo de las Cruzadas, doce caballeros se enfrentaron a una fuerza insuperable. Pero un ángel descendió del cielo y les entregó una flor de lis que les iba a dotar de poderes mágicos. La flor sagrada los salvó de la muerte segura entonces, pero su misterioso poder se ha convertido en una maldición y sólo tres de los descendientes de ese grupo de guerreros pueden acabar con ella.

A,really good teen novel. Fast paced, good characterisation and an excellent plot.

[Stevie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a very interesting read. I loved the diversity of the characters (particularly liked Jacinth) and the questions this story evoked about humanity...both it's cruelty and greed as well as it's love and sacrifice.
