In exile, supervised by her strict \"uncle\"(actually a wizard in disguise), she undergoes bogus memory recovery therapy, through which she is forced to remember childhood rape and abuse by her parents and others. She is terribly stunted emotionally by this terrifying plot, but at seventeen discovers it is all a lie. Christine escapes with a rescuer, Sir Quentin, a knight from Chrysanthe, in a thrilling chase across realities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnce home, the magical standoff caused by her exile is broken, and a war begins, in spite of the best efforts of her father, the king, and his wizard, Melogian. And that war, which takes up nearly the last third of the work, is a marvel of magical invention and terror, a battle between good and evil forces that resounds with echoes of the great battles of fantasy literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765330260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.12w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2012 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012 pg. 64 - Very Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2012 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yves Meynard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471074754741,"sku":"9780765330260","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c9d7851b-9321-472d-b36d-18d79ec75585.jpg?v=1704822297","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/chrysanthe-9780765330260","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
