Sinossi

Mae Crawford always thought she was in control. Now she's learned that her little brother Jamie is a magician and Nick, the boy she'd set her heart on, has an even darker secret. Mae's whole world has spun out of control, and it's only going to get worse. When she realises that Jamie has been meeting secretly with the new leader of the Obsidian Circle and that Gerald wants him to join the magicians, she's not sure how to stop Jamie doing just that. Calling in Nick and Alan as reinforcements only leads to a more desperate conflict because Gerald has a plan to bring Nick down - by using Alan to spring a deadly trap. With those around her torn between divided loyalties and Mae herself torn between her feelings for two very different boys, she sees a chance to save them all - but it means approaching the mysterious and dangerous Goblin Market alone...

Recensione

"Addictive stuff!" Bliss, July 10
"The Demon's Covenant is a thoroughly satisfying read...one of those books where all the 'bits' fit together - the characters are immediately appealing, the plot dense and engaging over quite a long and complex narrative, the language masterfully crafted to both tell and create the story....a well crafted, well-told story that ends with a promise of 'more-to-come'" INIS (Ireland), Sept 2010
PRAISE FOR THE DEMON'S LEXICON:
"Witty, dark and moving, this novel will keep your eyes glued to the page" Cassandra Clare, author of City of Bones
"Sarah Rees Brennan crafts a twisty tale full of surprises" Holly Black, author of Spiderwick and Tithe
"Promises to be a compelling tale, full of mystery, passion and danger, set in the darks shadows of contemporary London." Sarah Neville, Evening Herald (Ireland)
"Rees Brennan's debut novel is full of shimmery marvels and bountiful thunder." Scott Westerfeld, author of the Uglies series
"From the pitch-perfect opening paragraph to the heartbreaking final pages, the narrative peels back layers of revelation, deftly ratcheting up the tension and horror to a series of shattering climaxes." KIRKUS Starred Review
