The White Hart: First in the Book of Isle Trilogy
Author: Nancy Springer
 
Long ago, so long ago that the enchantment of the Beginning was not yet on it, there was a land called Isle.
It might have been the world entire for all the people knew; vast oceans encircled the Forest; on the Wasts or the Wealds or mountain Marches of the sea, the Old Ones yet walked; and gods, ghosts and all delvers in the hollow hills were no strangers to the woven shade just beyond the castle gates. It was in those times that The Book of Suns got its start, though the Sun Kings knew it only dimly; and a far-flung fate got its start when a lady fair as sunlight loved the Moon King at Laureroc.
