The rave reviews for John Wright's science fiction trilogy, The Golden Age, hail his debut as the most important of the new century. Now, in The Last Guardian of Everness, this exciting and innovative writer proves that his talents extend beyond SF, as he offers us a powerful novel of high fantasy set in the modern age. Young Galen Waylock is the last watchman of the dream-gate beyond which ancient evils wait, hungry for the human world. For a thousand years, Galen's family stood guard, scorned by a world which dismissed the danger as myth. Now, the minions of Darkness stir in the deep, and the long, long watch is over. Galen's patient loyalty seems vindicated. That loyalty is misplaced. The so-called Power of Light is hostile to modern ideas of human dignity and liberty. No matter who wins the final war between darkness and light, mankind is doomed either to a benevolent dictatorship or a malevolent one. And so Galen makes a third choice: the sleeping Champions of Light are left to sleep. Galen and his companions take the forbidden fairy-weapons themselves. Treason, murder, and disaster follow. The mortals must face the rising Darkness alone. An ambitious and beautifully written story, The Last Guardian of Everness is an heroic adventure that establishes John Wright as a significant new fantasist. It is just the start of a story that will conclude in the companion volume, Mists of Everness.

Isabella Forster is a happy child living an idyllic life with her Great Grandmother Edith and her mother Bethany in the beautiful little village of Bamburgh on the North East coast of Northumberland. At the age of 12 she is diagnosed with a brain tumour; she and her mother must leave Bamburgh for the grey streets of Newcastle to begin Isabella's lifesaving treatment. After her recovery, the next six years returned to 'normal', but just as she was about to start at University her mother mysteriously disappears, leaving Isabella alone with no one other than her Great Granny Edith. A few years later Isabella finds out that her mother is alive, trapped in the year 1333, accused of being a witch and sentenced to burn at the stake. Bethany reaches out through the mists of time to her daughter asking her to cross the divide and save her. Edith knows the threat is serious and that Isabella cannot do it alone and hires a handsome ex SAS soldier to be her bodyguard, Richard Watson, who is fighting demons of his own from his army days in Afghanistan. Can he be persuaded to believe that there is such a thing as time travel and help the feisty Isabella defend the Gateway and travel back in time to stop those who would seize power for their own greedy ambitions and change the future. Isabella was unaware that she came from a long line of Guardians; protectors of an ancient Gateway which allows travel between future and past times. Edith knew that one day she needed to be told, the truth had to come out, keeping secrets was never a good idea, and her family had a cellar full. As the new Guardian, Isabella and her bodyguard are given magical rings to help defend and protect the past from the secrets of the future; time is running out to save and preserve the equilibrium of both worlds from evil and those who would abuse the Gateway. It is Isabella's destiny to take over the role as the Guardian and must travel to 14th century Bamburgh with Richard; their mission is to stop those who would destroy the delicate timeline and seal the Gateway forever.

New York Times bestselling author of Girl With a Pearl Earring and At the Edge of the Orchard Tracy Chevalier makes her first fictional foray into the American past in The Last Runaway, bringing to life the Underground Railroad and illuminating the principles, passions and realities that fueled this extraordinary freedom movement. Honor Bright, a modest English Quaker, moves to Ohio in 1850--only to find herself alienated and alone in a strange land. Sick from the moment she leaves England, and fleeing personal disappointment, she is forced by family tragedy to rely on strangers in a harsh, unfamiliar landscape. Nineteenth-century America is practical, precarious, and unsentimental, and scarred by the continuing injustice of slavery. In her new home Honor discovers that principles count for little, even within a religious community meant to be committed to human equality. However, Honor is drawn into the clandestine activities of the Underground Railroad, a network helping runaway slaves escape to freedom, where she befriends two surprising women who embody the remarkable power of defiance. Eventually she must decide if she too can act on what she believes in, whatever the personal costs.

Time is running out for Ben Greenwood - not as an apprentice for the Royal Institute of Magic, but as the Head Guardian, secretly responsible for uniting Queen Elizabeth's Armour. The dark elves are coming and the only chance of stopping them is to find the last Guardian and the final two pieces of the armour. They will be difficult to find and heavily protected, as they are the most important of all. To make matters worse, Ben's only clue to their whereabouts comes from a particularly unreliable and dangerous source. With the dark elves massing an army and looking increasingly likely to begin their invasion, Ben faces a race against time to find the last Guardian and unite the final pieces of Elizabeth's Armour. But that isn't his only challenge - he will soon be forced to make a critical decision involving his closest friends, and even his oldest enemies, that might make or break the entire mission.
