Synopsis

Lyra. Lucy. Percy. Once in a generation, a hero emerges whose story enthralls readers worldwide.

Fireborn is an epic quest, perfect for fans of the His Dark Materials and The School for Good and Evil series, that will spin readers into a magical world like no other—and introduce them to an unforgettable new heroine named Twelve.

Ember is full of monsters.

Twelve gave up her name and identity to train in the art of hunting them—so she says. The truth is much more deadly: she trains to take revenge on those who took her family from her.

But when Twelve’s new home is attacked, she’ll find herself on an unexpected journey, where her hidden past is inescapably intertwined with her destiny—and the very fate of her world.

One girl, one squirrel, and a world of monsters.

• Revenge Quest: Twelve gave up her name to hunt monsters, but her true target is the clan who murdered her family.
• Magical Creatures: From terrifying Grims and Ygrex to loyal stone Guardians, the world of Ember is filled with danger and wonder.
• Found Family: Forced to team up with her rivals and a magical stone dog, Twelve discovers that the Hunters’ Pledge—"The Hunters are my family now"—might be truer than she thought.
• Animal Companion: With her fiercely loyal squirrel, Widge, at her side, Twelve is never truly alone in her fight for justice.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Aisling Fowler was born in 1985 and wishes that she had grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom, but was actually raised in Surrey on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her early "adventure" stories involved surprisingly little action and her first novel (three pages long) was politely declined by publishers at age 11. After earning a BSc in Biology and working as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for her debut novel, Fireborn, came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US. Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing, Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters).
