The Nightingale Author:Kara Dalkey A retelling of the Han Christian Anderson's classic.
Once there was a lovely girl blessed with the gift of song. She was the Emperor's greatest treasure. But no one, not even the girl herself, realized the dangers of her gift -- a dark power enforced by the ghost of her evil ancestor. A sprit who now seeks a terrible revenge.
This was a wonderful story. I found it beautiful, romantic, and enchanting. The setting of an ancient Japanese empire was perfect for this retelling of a classic fairytale.
