Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Only four can stop their island being invaded: 'One who is wise. One who is foolish. One who is kind. And one with royal blood'. This is the prophecy of the bones.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Miran is the only island in the Known Ocean where children are born with bloom. The colour starts as a pale shine on their baby skin, gradually darkening as they grow older. Those with purple skin (like Gilly) are born with an ability to heal and eventually become pothecaries. Those with white skin covered in blue markings (like Penn) are destined to be teks, engineers and inventors. Rarest of all are children with green skin, like Ana. Spellbinders. The only guild with magic. Ana has exceptional ability and is fast tracked through her apprenticeship at the Academia. But it's lonely at the top. Ana has no spellbinder friends and wouldn't dream of reaching out to unmagical teks and pothecaries.Countless years ago the Var tribe was banished into the Miran swamplands. The hagwitch Drabani-of-the-bones convinces the Var King to do a deal with Karapaz, a tyrant whose metal arm contains a deadly weapon. If Karapaz promises to return the Var to the city if they will help him invade Miran. Drabani uses her bones of prophecy to see the future. The bones foretell that four will try to stop the invasion: one who is foolish, one who is wise, one who is kind and one with royal blood. When Karapaz and his seawolves prepare to attack, Ana learns a magical curse intended for seniors only. Defying an order to stay away from the fighting, she hurls the curse into the battlefield. It injures Karapaz and saves the life of Tamin Te Mata, one of the giant meerkat warriors. Karapaz is thrown into prison and the war ends. Nevertheless, senior spellbinders decide Ana should be punished for disobedience. Stung by what she sees as a gross injustice, Ana gallops out of the Academia on her contrapony, vowing never to return.Drabani uses her pet birds to track Ana. She reads Ana's mind and finds that her deepest desire is to be admired and celebrated by other spellbinders. The hagwitch casts a thrawl enchantment which seems to promise Ana what she wants. Instead, it removes the green girl's memory and her magic. Ana becomes a mindless slave in the underground world of the Var. Penn and Gilly are also kidnapped. Drabani's plan is to exchange the three apprentices for Karapaz, believing that once free he will honour is promise.A miraculous flask restores Ana's memory, but not her magic. The bloom children work together to escape. Tamin joins them in a race down the mighty Est River in a desperate attempt to stop the prisoner exchange. They arrive seconds too late. Karapaz, now free, plans to leave Miran as soon as possible. Drabani drags Ana forward, hoping to demonstrate her thrawl power and force the tyrant to change his mind. However, this time the thrawl fails because Ana has realised what is her true deepest desire. Pothecaries heal, teks invent, spellbinders protect. Ana is a spellbinder. She must protect her family, her friends and her island. When Ana realises this, her magic returns, even more powerful than before. She destroys Drabani's thrawl and shatters Karapaz's metal arm.A weakened Drabani bitterly remembers the prophecy of the bones. She identifies Tamin as the one with royal blood. Each of the bloom children have been wise, foolish and kind at different times during their adventure.Penn and Gilly return to the Academia as heroes. Ana joins them, agreeing to resume her apprenticeship.on her own terms. Losing her magic and sharing adventures with Gilly and Penn has made her realise that non-magical folk are not inferior. Everyone has their own strengths and magic.ReviewsReview in Magpies magazine, TalkingAbout Books for Children, May 2026 /Anna and the Prophecy of Bones(2025) Pauline Hosking, Lilly Pilly Publishing, 199pp. 978 0 9580 3811 9$21.99c Pb When the evil crone, Drabani,persuades her weak-minded leader, the Var King, to combine the f Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
