Riassunto

I am everything no longer forgotten. I banish forgetting. My seed has grown and become prophecy. Truth walks the world above. Magic is risen to the world once more. In Cornwall, they have seen it rise: in an angel of death and endless, unseasonal snow. Across the ocean, on a remote Canadian island, the blood and offerings and smoke of England seem nothing more than distant rumours of hysteria. Until the girl disappears. And the whale comes. And The Plague spreads. And nothing is as it was before.

Recensione:

James's style draws you in . . . it's alive with vile creatures, sweeping mysteries and the best-written female characters in young adult fiction. A unique voice (ImagineFX)

The second novel in an astonishingly imaginative fantasy trilogy . . . If you're looking for a story that's been written well, is complex and has interesting characters, you have just found what you've been looking for. ANARCHY is all of these things and more - it's a genuine masterpiece of literary fantasy. (Rising Shadow)

This is a brilliant sequel, exploring the themes of its predecessor more deeply whilst broadening the vistas of the world. If Advent was the stone dropping in a pool, Anarchy charts the ripples spreading out from it in ever-widening circles, changing the face of the world. Lyrical, mysterious and uncomfortable, ANARCHY is never less than a riveting read. Who knows where the journey will take us next? I, for one, can't wait to find out. (Geek Syndicate)

Praise for ADVENT, the first in the trilogy (:-)

Mesmerizing fantasy . . . Told with great warmth and insight, ADVENT is an epic tale that will linger in your mind long after you turn the last page. (Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches)

Nothing short of magical. It is a rich tapestry of light and dark which has been spun deftly thanks to some delicately intricate - yet nonetheless accessible - prose that stimulates the senses magnificently and so begs the reader to learn more, whether aficionados of the genre or not.

'A beautifully written tale which in one sense feels like a return to old-fashioned storytelling, yet manages to be utterly fresh.' (Bookseller)

'An interesting and original tale, bringing a fresh outlook to old stories,. . . clever twists keep you hooked' (SFX)

'Myth and magic in the modern world. A traditional quest tale beautifully told ' (www.thebookbag.co.uk)
