The Ring of Morgana Donna Hosie

Publisher Marketing: Sixteen-year-old Mila Roth wants to be normal. It's a phrase that has been drilled into her by her mother since she was born. But Mila Roth is anything but normal. For sixteen years her parents have hidden a secret from her. For Mila was born one thousand years ago in the land of Logres, and far from being a math teacher and a housewife, Mila's parents are the awakened King Arthur and Gorian druid queen, Morgana. Two worlds, one thousand years apart. And those worlds are about to collide. The spirit of the malevolent Lady of the Lake has been contained for sixteen years in the fabled Ring of Morgana. When the ring curses Mila's younger sister, Lilly, the Roth family has no choice but to return Mila to the land of her birth as they face a battle against time itself. Accompanied by her best friend, Rustin, Mila will have to decide whether to defy those she loves in order to save her sister. Should she trust the Gorian druids and the mysterious Melehan? What is the true cost to Mila's heart as she strives to master the purple flame? And why have her mother and father denied the truth of her origins for so long? For she alone has the combined power of royalty and druid magic within her. And now only Mila can save Lilly and Logres. Contributor Bio:  Hosie, Donna Donna Hosie is a hybrid YA author (repped by Beth Phelan, The Bent Agency, NY) and full time geek. Part Potterhead, Ringer, Whovian and Sherlockian with sprinkles of Whedonite on top. If it's fantastical, she's in. Originally from England, Donna currently resides in Australia with her husband, three children, and a crazy Golden Retriever named Harry (after a certain boy wizard, of course)! Donna's first foray into writing came about from her time working on a Harry Potter website. Warner Bros and EA Games asked her to be a fan consultant on the Order of the Phoenix computer game. Her reports and podcasts were relayed around the world as fans of the books patiently awaited the next installment. From writing reports, she turned to fan fiction, eventually writing her own time-traveling novels while studying for an BA(Hons) in Modern Languages. Donna is the author of the RETURN TO CAMELOT trilogy, THE RING OF MORGANA (May 2014), THE DEVIL'S INTERN (Holiday House, October 2014) and THE DEVIL'S DREAMCATCHER (Holiday House, Fall 2015). Donna is a member of the SCBWI.
