The gripping final instalment of the acclaimed fantasy trilogy ...
In a darkening city of dreams, can the light return?
For Londoner Fern King, Annwn is her second home - the dream mirror of London, the city she loves. An astonishing world, a world where Dreamers walk in their slumber, their dreams playing out all around them. And Fern, along with her twin brother Ollie, is a Knight, a trusted guardian and protector of those Dreamers - and every night is spent in Annwn, fulfilling that previously only-imagined destiny to guard those who sleep.
But Fern is struggling since the loss of her extraordinary powers - and her nemesis Medraut, who seeks to control and to ruin Annwn is gaining ever more control. Annwn is a dangerous place to be for the Knights, with Dreamers recruited to be Medraut's personal army, the Knights' stronghold Tintagel starting to crumble and the last of the Fay slowly being lost.
Fern, and the Knights', only hope is to retrieve Excalibur, and find the Grail - but will Fern find herself equal to this, and can she save the world she loves and see hope, imagination and wonder restored to Annwn?
Action, heart, political intrigue, and a showdown worthy of the fantastic build-up. This was the perfect end to the trilogy! -- Kat Ellis
Unique and utterly enthralling, the Midnight's Twins trilogy is a vivid, spellbinding testament to the power our imaginations can wield. -- Kate Dylan, author of Mindwalker
Holly Race's debut novel is a complex, inventive fantasy adventure that builds suspense and holds our attention...Race is an author to watch * BOOKS FOR KEEPS (praise for MIDNIGHT'S TWINS) *
Midnight's Twins had me gripped from the very first line. It's wildly imaginative, and I love that it's focused on the sibling bond (Fern and Ollie completely captured my heart!) and set in an alternative, dreamscaped London. The world building is excellent - the streets and inhabitants of Annwn really came to life in Race's prose. A brilliant combination of urban fantasy and Arthurian legend, Midnight's Twins will appeal to fans of Gaiman's Neverwhere or Schwab's A Darker Shade Of Magic. -- Katharine Corr
Lyrical writing, powerful politics, & epic world-building, Race's Midnight's Twins is a unique and vivid story of hope & belonging, I couldn't put it down -- Michelle Kenney
A gripping YA fantasy that plunges the reader into a nightmarish mirror world where dreams can literally kill you. I could not put it down. -- Elizabeth Corr
A Midnight Dark And Golden is everything I hoped it was going to be, and much more. A beautifully written, devastatingly emotional finale to this epic trilogy, it's shot through with the best kind of magic: the magic of hope, sacrifice and love. Both heartbreaking and joyful, I know that Fern and Ollie's story will be one I return to time and time again. -- Katharine Corr
