Book description
The squabbling Norse gods and goddesses of Runemarks are back!
And there's a feisty new heroine on the scene: Maggie, a girl the same
age as Maddy but brought up a world apart - literally, in World's End,
the focus of the Order in which Maddy was raised. Now the Order is
destroyed, Chaos is filling the vacuum left behind... and is breaching
the everyday world.
A chilling prophecy from the Oracle. A conflict between two girls.
And with just twelve days to stave off the Apocalypse, carnage
is about to be unleashed . . .
Joanne Harris is the author of the Whitbread-shortlisted
Chocolat
(made into a major film starring Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche),
Five Quarters of the Orange
,
The Lollipop Shoes
and
Blue-Eyed Boy
, amongst others. She lives in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, with her husband
and daughter.
