A Midnight Dark and Golden cover

In the final book of the trilogy, A Midnight Dark and Golden, Fern must reclaim her powers and battle Medraut to save Annwn from darkness.

In the thrilling conclusion of the fantasy trilogy, A Midnight Dark and Golden transports readers to a shadowy yet enchanting version of London known as Annwn. This dreamlike realm is where Fern King, a Londoner, feels most at home, serving as a Knight who protects Dreamers as they navigate their nightly adventures. However, as darkness envelops Annwn, Fern faces the daunting challenge of reclaiming her lost powers while battling her formidable foe, Medraut, who is determined to seize control of this fragile world.

As the story unfolds, the stakes grow higher for Fern and her twin brother Ollie. The Knights, once a bastion of hope, now find their stronghold, Tintagel, crumbling under the weight of Medraut's influence. With Dreamers being coerced into serving as Medraut's army, the very essence of Annwn is at risk. The urgency to restore balance intensifies as Fern embarks on a quest to retrieve the legendary Excalibur and the elusive Grail, essential artifacts that hold the key to saving her beloved realm.

A Midnight Dark and Golden weaves a tale of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of imagination. As Fern grapples with her identity and the responsibilities of her role, readers are invited to explore themes of hope and redemption. Will Fern rise to the occasion and restore light to the darkening city of dreams, or will Medraut's ambitions plunge Annwn into eternal darkness?

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
