AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Kidnapped at birth, raised by a she-wolf, then taken in by a kind farmer and his wife, Irina is no ordinary foundling. She is a princess, the long-lost daughter of King Harmon and Queen Chloe of Ragnor, and in the coming days of battle, could it be that a princess with the courage of a warrior and the instincts of a wolf is exactly what is needed?' (Publisher's blurb)

    'Irina: the Trilogy brings together in one stunning packaged the three magical books in the Irina series: Irina the Wolf Queen, Irina and the White Wolf and Irina and the Lost Book. From when Irina is kidnapped by the evil wizard Vilmos as a baby, to being raised by wolves in the forest, to returning home to Ragnor Castle and finally being crowned the princess she was always destined to be, the trilogy will captivate and enchant younger readers. Irina: the Trilogy is intended for a middle-grade readership between 8 and 12 years and will appeal to those who enjoyed Emily Rodda’s The Key To Rondo, Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness Quartet, C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books, Tolkien’s The Hobbit and readers of Hans Christian Andersen.' (Publication summary)
