Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Described by Amanda Craig in The Times as 'the best fantasy novel of 2010'. Longlisted for the 2011 David Gemmell Legend Award and 2011 Catalyst Award. Bloodstone, the 2nd book in the Rebel Angels series, will be published in Aug 2011. It is the last decade of the sixteenth century: a time of religious wars in the full-mortal world. But the Sithe are at peace, hidden behind the Veil that protects their world until their queen, Kate NicNiven, determines to destroy it. Seth MacGregor is the half-feral son of a Sithe nobleman. When his father is assassinated, and Seth is exiled with his brother Conal to the full-mortal world, they vow not only to survive, but to return to reclaim their fortress and save the Veil. But even the Veil s power cannot protect the brothers when the brutal witch-hunts begin... Brimming with intrigue and rebellion, Firebrand is the first book in the Rebel Angels series by Gillian Philip, the Carnegie Medal-nominated author of Crossing the Line and multi-award nominated Bad Faith.

Revue de presse :

Once a year, a new novelist really blows me away. Last year it was Suzanne Collins with The Hunger Games. This year it's Gillian Philip's Firebrand...This deserves prizes... The best fantasy novel of 2010. --The Times

Everything fantasy should be: vital, charismatic characters; intensely personal stories, big, arching themes of power and greed, love and loyalty... And all about the terrible things people do to one another for the sake of a cause or ambition, so there's plenty of crying to do... Superb... I'm blown away! --The Bookbag

Vast in its magnitude... there are so many things about this book that make me crazy with love of it. Firstly, it is beautifully written... Secondly, the plot kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through... Gillian Philip is a breath-taking writer who has taken a genre that is swimming with the mediocre and given it an awe-inspiring transformation and I worship her for it. --The Bookette
