' Wildly imaginative . . . A brilliant combination of urban fantasy and Arthurian legend, Midnight' s Twins will appeal to fans of Gaiman' s Neverwhere or Schwab' s A Darker Shade Of Magic. ' Katharine Corr, author of A THRONE OF SWANS ' A highly imaginative urban fantasy that offers a twist on the Arthurian legend as it whisks you away to a dream world full of wonder, mystery and nightmarish danger. ' Bex Hogan, author of ISLES OF STORM AND SORROW (praise for MIDNIGHT' S TWINS)' Lyrical writing, powerful politics and epic world-building, Race' s Midnight' s Twins is a unique and vivid story of hope and belonging' Michelle Kenney, author of BOOK OF FIREIn a city that sleeps, the darkness is gathering . . . For Londoner Fern King, Annwn is her second home - the dream mirror of London, the city she loves. An astonishing world, a world where Dreamers walk in their slumber, their dreams playing out all around them. And Fern, along with her twin brother Ollie, is now a Knight, a trusted guardian and protector of those Dreamers - and every night is spent in Annwn, fulfilling that previously only-imagined destiny to guard those who sleep. But Annwn, this dark and golden city, is a fragile place. There are those who seek to control and to ruin it - mistrust and secrets are rife, and as the delicate symbiotic balance between Annwn and our own world begins to topple, rips begin to appear between the fabric of the worlds. And Fern and Ollie will have to do all in their power to protect this place that has become so precious to them . . .
Holly Race' s debut novel is a complex, inventive fantasy adventure that builds suspense and holds our attention. . . Race is an author to watch * BOOKS FOR KEEPS (praise for MIDNIGHT' S TWINS) * Midnight' s Twins had me gripped from the very first line. It' s wildly imaginative, and I love that it' s focused on the sibling bond (Fern and Ollie completely captured my heart!) and set in an alternative, dreamscaped London. The world building is excellent - the streets and inhabitants of Annwn really came to life in Race' s prose. A brilliant combination of urban fantasy and Arthurian legend, Midnight' s Twins will appeal to fans of Gaiman' s Neverwhere or Schwab' s A Darker Shade Of Magic. -- Katherine Corr Lyrical writing, powerful politics, & epic world-building, Race' s Midnight' s Twins is a unique and vivid story of hope & belonging, I couldn' t put it down -- Michelle Kenney
