'Mary E. Pearson is a fearless storyteller' Stephanie Garber Vow of
Thieves is the thrilling sequel to Dance of Thieves, set in the
same world as Mary E. Pearson's New York Times bestselling Remnant
Chronicles. Kazi and Jase have survived, stronger and more in love
than ever. Their new life now lies before them - the Ballengers
will be outlaws no longer, Tor's Watch will be a kingdom, and Kazi
and Jase will meet all challenges side by side, together at last.
But an ominous warning mars their journey back, and they soon find
themselves captured in a tangled web of deceit woven by their
greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies, a place where betrayals
run deeper and more deadly than either had thought possible, and
where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both. PRAISE FOR
MARY E. PEARSON 'One of my favorite reads of the year' Alyson Noel
'Deeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasy' Robin LaFevers
'Breathtaking' Booklist 'Heart-pounding' Cinda Williams Chima
A bewitching epic fantasy about a revenge killing, a mysterious
scroll box that has survived centuries of fires, and the book that
changed everything "Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, The
Absolute Book is a cinematic tale that is by turns dark and
dreamlike, yet ultimately hopeful." --Deborah Harkness, New York
Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches "An instant
classic . . . It is everything fantasy should be." --The Guardian
Taryn Cornick believes that the past--her sister's violent death,
and her own ill-conceived revenge--is behind her, and she can get
on with her life. She has written a successful book about the
things that threaten libraries: insects, damp, light, fire,
carelessness and uncaring . . . but not all of the attention it
brings her is good. A policeman, Jacob Berger, questions her about
a cold case. Then there are questions about a fire in the library
at her grandparents' house and an ancient scroll box known as the
Firestarter, as well as threatening phone calls and a mysterious
illness. Finally a shadowy young man named Shift appears, forcing
Taryn and Jacob toward a reckoning felt in more than one world. The
Absolute Book is epic, action-packed fantasy in which hidden
treasures are recovered, wicked things resurface, birds can talk,
and dead sisters are a living force. It is a book of journeys and
returns, from contemporary England to Auckland, New Zealand; from a
magical fairyland to Purgatory. Above all, it is a declaration of
love for stories and the ways in which they shape our worlds and
create gods out of mortals.
