Old art #11: Enna Burning

Shannon Hale and Books of Bayern were some of my favourite reads last decade. Here's some watercolour fan art I did of the fiery Enna.

Isi and Garric are going to meet Isi's mother, the people speaking Queen of Kildrenree

Putting a fancy hat on Jok was rapidly becoming a more desirable option. Geric's fingers were ink stained as much as Isi's were, from jotting down notes and then going over them together, often with Talone, Finn, Enna, or old Odaccar to give their thoughts. Then the whole mess had to be copied again. They might have left the work to scribes, but Isi hadn't wanted to let on to palace gossip how nervous the upcoming  Royal visit was making them. 

Her mother would arrive in a day's time, taking the new Forest Road that cut through the mountains, making a many-months long journey into a scant handful of weeks. Messengers had come riding ahead on horses both familiar and foreign to her, bearing letters in her mother's hand.  Of course, with the alliance so recently forged, and with all the drama that had surrounded it, and then the war with Tira, it was necessary for her mother to visit the new King and Queen of Bayern. There was nothing sinister in a mother wishing to see her daughter's home, in a queen wanting to be certain that an alliance so tentative was on solid footing. Most of the Palace, and Geric's council, hadn't batted an eye at  the arrangement of the visit. 

Isi and Geric were still ill at ease. 

"We have the maps," she said, finding her voice in time to stop her husband's pacing. "We can give up a mile or two at the border without displacing anyone, and let her talk us into another five before it'll get hard for the people at Riversfoot." That her mother would use her power to convince them to sacrifice land was a given, Isi remembered how unhappy the Queen had been about the narrow patch of mountain and wood Bayern had left Kildenree.  "As long as we stick to the scripts, we should be alright..."

"It's not the land I'm worried about, Geric said, quietly. 

"Why not? It is your land, after all, and my mother should have no claim on it, after--"

"I know," he said, sinking onto the edge of their bed. "I know I should be worried about that, but--"

"Then what?" Isi asked, putting her hand on his knee. 

"You so rarely speak of your childhood. You know a double dozen of my stories, but everything I know of your mother...I don't want her putting... putting poison in my ear about you." His dark eyes, bright as a bird's, held on her face. "I don't want her to speak badly of you. I don't want to believe it even for a moment. But I don't know if I can keep my mind."

"You can," Isi said, quiet. "I know you, Geric."

"You knew me as a fool who believed ..." he stopped. Neither of them ever spoke the traitor's name.

"You didn't know not to," Isi insisted. "My mother has practice, true, but she won't have malice, either. We'll be fine."

"And we're sure it's not too late to run away to the Forest?" 

"Unfortunately. Now, we need to finish this, in case she starts talking about succession crises." Isi hefted another sheet of parchment with talking points written on it.

Geric heaved to his feet with a dramatic groan. "Your mother is the fool, and I am the luckier for it," he said, bending so his chin rested on her shoulder. "You make the finest queen anywhere on the continent has ever had."

Isi laughed.

hello hi does anyone else here like books of bayern? no? just me?

#books of bayern #cast this into the abyss of fandoms no one on here reads

[official-kenralie-fanbase]

🥺 what's a truly underrated book/series you recommend and wish the whole world would read?

Something that's not KOTLC or TLC or any of your listed fandoms pls (something I don't already know)

Yay I was hoping someone would ask me this!

I’d have to answer the Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale. There is not really a fandom that I know of, and I honestly can’t see why. These books are SO good- really wholesome Upper MG fantasy with excellent worldbuilding and lovable characters. They’d honestly probably be fun for KOTLC fans to read, since there are characters with elemental abilities that really explore the consequences of having a connection with fire, water, etc. I rated all four books either four or five stars! They are, in order, The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets and Forest Born. I’d encourage KOTLC fans (or anyone really but that’s mostly who follows me lol) to check out this series!

Enna Burning - Shannon Hale

The sequel to The Goose Girl tells the story of Isi's friend, Enna, when she learns the ability to control fire.

Enna's brother comes home one day with an ancient sheet of vellum on which is written instructions for manipulating fire. But the power quickly consumes him, and Enna vows she will not have anything to do with such a dangerous magic.

But once she has one small taste of the power, it is hard to let it go again. War has come upon Bayern, and so Enna uses her fire to assist the war efforts. She sets rules for herself to make sure what happened to her brother doesn't happen to her ... but as time goes on, she realizes it might be an unavoidable fate.

It's a very thought-provoking story about balance and surrender. I was surprised to find out that Isi's own wind-speak ability had progressed since the first book in a similar way to Enna's power, which I wasn't expecting. Now I'm curious to see how the other books in the series will handle other magic types.
