Action! Humor! Fantasy! "Kicking off a new series with a bang (several bangs, in fact), Stroud sends two young fugitives with murky pasts fleeing murderous pursuers across a fractured future Britain." Kirkus Reviews, starred
__Soon to be a motion picture starring Phoebe Dynevor of Bridgerton!__
Scarlett McCain is a shoot-first ask-questions-later kind of outlaw. She scrapes by on bank heists, her wits and never looking back.
She s on the run from her latest crime when she comes across Albert Browne. He is the sole survivor of a horrific accident, and against her better judgement, Scarlett agrees to guide him to safety.
This is a mistake. Soon there are men with dogs and guns and explosives hot on their heels. Scarlett s used to being chased by the law, but this is extreme. It was only a little bank she d robbed . . .
As they flee together across the wilds, fighting off monstrous beasts, and dodging their pursuers, Scarlett comes to realize th at Albert Browne is hiding a terrible secret. And that he may be the most dangerous threat of all.
In this fast-paced, quick-witted whirlwind of a story, Jonathan Stroud introduces two unlikely allies the outlaws Scarlett and Browne who are about to become the most notorious renegades in all that s left of Britain.
Rezension:
"The vivid setting, rapid-fire dialogue, and nonstop action will propel readers through this raucous, rousing rumble. A blast for action fans, with potential for a long run." Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Just the kind of setting where adventure fantasy thrives. Add razor-sharp banter and you can lay the smart money on another Stroud winner." Bulletin, starred review
"Stroud expertly builds flawed characters, cahoots close and tender, and a fully realized setting in this rollicking series opener, employing arch phrasing, witty rapport, and quick pacing alongside the brutally rendered truths of a world intent on controlling outlaws of every type." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Stroud s world building is exceptional, his compelling characters easy to root for. There s real suspense and surprise, along with some truly terrifying moments, though plenty of banter and scheming keeps things fun." Booklist
"Intricate worldbuilding and a compelling h eroine will appeal to readers who like Rick Riordan Presents, as well as the works of Philip Pullman and Garth Nix." School Library Journal
