The Belgian publisher Clavis has acquired the Dutch rights to Naondel, the second part in Maria Turtschaninoff’s YA fantasy trilogy The Red Abbey Chronicles. They are publishing also Maresi, the first book of the trilogy, this summer.
“When love and passion, trust and deceit come too close, a woman must rise above herself. Naondel is an intriguing and compelling story that sucks you in and into the fight together with Kabira.” – Philippe Werck, Publisher, Clavis
The Red Abbey Chronicles have been sold to 17 territories to date, and great reviews are coming in from all corners of the world:
”Maresi is totally herself, as well as a very real part of all girls, and, hopefully, of all of us. She is one of the great creations of contemporary YA literature.” – Magic Fiction Since Potter blog, UK
”Maresi proves to be an exact and riveting storyteller. She tells her gripping story simply and clearly, and has us hanging on her every word.” – South China Morning Post, Hong Kong
“There’s so much magic in this book – on all imaginable levels.” – Tasmetu.de, Germany
