Publisher: Hodder
SYNOPSIS:
I am everything no longer forgotten. I banish forgetting. My seed has grown and become prophecy. Truth walks the world above. Magic is risen to the world once more. In Cornwall, they have seen it rise: in an angel of death and endless, unseasonal snow. Across the ocean, on a remote Canadian island, the blood and offerings and smoke of England seem nothing more than distant rumours of hysteria. Until the girl disappears. And the whale comes. And The Plague spreads. And nothing is as it was before.
REVIEW:
The second book in a fantasy series unlike any other as James returns to the world he created in Advent that not only continues to build upon the invention of the original but really delivers a story that is not only gripping but one that continues to build upon the mystery that the reader will just love to unravel.
Add to the mix solid prose, characters that you really can’t get out of your head as well as a storytelling style that not only envelops the reader but draws them deeper into the world all round makes this a book that is nigh impossible to put down.

SYNOPSIS:
For centuries it has been locked away Lost beneath the sea Warded from earth, air, water, fire, spirits, thought and sight. But now magic is rising to the world once more. And a boy called Gavin, who thinks only that he is a city kid with parents who hate him, and knows only that he sees things no one else will believe, is boarding a train, alone, to Cornwall. No one will be there to meet him.
REVIEW:
Readers are always looking for something new that has all the elements of fantasy that will light not only the world for the Young Reader but the adult as well. What this story from James does, is bring a whole new take onto the magical world and with some solid prose, a decent understanding of pace which when backed with a solid authorly hand, helps guide the reader as it creates a story that you can sit back and enjoy as it wends it magical way through your mind.
Add to this some decent tale development along with a solid magical concept which makes this first book in a trilogy not only a must read but one that the reader can really get behind. All in, this is a cracking story and one that I can’t wait to see which direction it takes with the subsequent releases. Great stuff.
