Anarchy
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.

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.
An interesting and original tale, bringing a fresh outlook to old stories,. . . clever twists keep you hooked
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
The second novel in an astonishingly imaginative fantasy trilogy . . . If you're looking for a story that's been written well, is complex and has interesting characters, you have just found what you've been looking for. ANARCHY is all of these things and more - it's a genuine masterpiece of literary fantasy.
This is a brilliant sequel, exploring the themes of its predecessor more deeply whilst broadening the vistas of the world. If Advent was the stone dropping in a pool, Anarchy charts the ripples spreading out from it in ever-widening circles, changing the face of the world. Lyrical, mysterious and uncomfortable, ANARCHY is never less than a riveting read. Who knows where the journey will take us next? I, for one, can't wait to find out.
