&;Magnificent.&; &;Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It&;s a year and a half after the events of Anarchy&;a novel hailed as &;bewitchingly perplexing and supernaturally entertaining&; (Kirkus Reviews)&;and the world is alive with magic in this third astonishingly imaginative novel in the fantasy trilogy that began with Advent.

On a tiny archipelago out of sight of the rest of the world lives Rory, a ten-year-old boy. He and his mother and a handful of survivors live an exhausting and precarious existence, entirely isolated. The sea is alive, and angry. Every man Rory can remember has been drowned. Everyone knows he&;ll be next.

One night, for the first time since the world changed and the curse descended, strangers appear on the island. They&;re on their way to England, seeking a powerful magic ring. And one of them seems to know Rory by sight&;

Caught up in their quest, Rory enters an England of terrors and marvels, at the heart of which lies a place where journeys unimaginably longer and older than his will reach their end: Pendurra.
