Advent

Advent

First in an astonishingly imaginative fantasy trilogy, Advent describes how magic was lost to the world, and how a fifteen-year-old English boy discovers that its return is his inheritance.

A drowning, a magicianâ€™s curse, and a centuries-old secret.

1537. A man hurries through city streets in a gathering snowstorm, clutching a box in one hand. He is Johann Faust, the greatest magician of his age. The box he carries contains a mirror safeguarding a portion of his soul and a small ring containing all the magic in the world. Together, they comprise something unimaginably dangerous.

London, the present day. Fifteen-year-old Gavin Stokes is boarding a train to the countryside to live with his aunt. His school and his parents canâ€™t cope with him and the things he sees, things they tell him donâ€™t really exist. At Pendurra, Gavin finds people who are like him, who see things too. They all make the same strange claim: magic exists, itâ€™s leaking back into our world, and itâ€™s bringing something terrible with it.

First in an astonishingly imaginative fantasy trilogy, Advent describes how magic was lost to humanity, and how a fifteen-year-old boy discovers that its return is his inheritance. It begins in a world recognizably our own, and ends an extraordinarily long way from where it startedâ€”somewhere much bigger, stranger, and richer.
