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.

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 terrible.

ÿÿÿÿ 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 can't cope with him and the things he sees, things they tell him don't really exist.

ÿÿÿÿ At Pendurra, Gavin finds people who are like him, who see things too. They all tell him the same thing: magic exists, and it's leaking back into our world-and bringing something terrible with it.

ÿÿÿÿ Advent is an epic novel with heart-stopping moments, notable as much for its atmosphere as for its pace and sense of place. With numerous themes deftly woven throughout the compelling narrative, this novel is a spellbinding return to old-fashion storytelling and impossible to put down.

Industry Reviews

"Ripe with literary language and classical references, Treadwell's novel shape-shifts between bewitchingly perplexing and supernaturally entertaining." --Kirkus
