In a darkening city of dreams, can the light return? 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 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 Fern is struggling since the loss of her extraordinary powers - and her nemesis Medraut, who seeks to control and to ruin Annwn is gaining ever more control. Annwn is a dangerous place to be for the Knights, with Dreamers recruited to be Medraut' s personal army, the Knights' stronghold Tintagel starting to crumble and the last of the Fay slowly being lost. Fern, and the Knights' , only hope is to retrieve Excalibur, and find the Grail - but will Fern find herself equal to this, and can she save the world she loves and see hope, imagination and wonder restored to Annwn?
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. -- Katharine 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 A gripping YA fantasy that plunges the reader into a nightmarish mirror world where dreams can literally kill you. I could not put it down. -- Elizabeth Corr
