All the men are dead - now it's the boys' turn.
On a tiny archipelago, cut off from the rest of the world by a cursed sea, a handful of survivors live a precarious existence, clinging to their memories of the time before magic and their hope that those times will return.
As far as he knows, Rory is the only boy left.
Then the man comes, weaving his tales of a quest to find a powerful ring, and Rory finds himself embarking on a journey through terrors and marvels, once more in the world of men.
And the moment of reckoning, when it comes, will bring an end to stories unimaginably older than his own.
This epic debut tale wowed us with the concept of ancient magic returning to the modern world 500 years after its disappearance . . . The first in a trilogy, it's ambitious and echoes Philip Pullman. * Stylist on ADVENT *
An interesting and original tale, bringing a fresh outlook to old stories,. . . clever twists keep you hooked * SFX on ADVENT *
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 *
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 on ANARCHY *
