The Double-Edged Sword: The Nowhere Chronicles Book One - Hardcover

Sarah Silverwood lives and writes in Buckinghamshire, England. She has had a lot of jobs - some of which were mind-numbingly dull and some of which definitely weren't - but has decided that writing books is by far the best of them. She has a cat instead of a husband and children, because apparently the latter get irritable if you take off for a few days' adventure without warning. A cat is likely to sleep through it. Most of the time she can be found somewhere in her own imagination. She likes it in there.

"A rich and magical tale that is utterly compelling. The main protagonist - Fin - is cleverly drawn with huge appeal to teens. His journey is a long and very dark one that's full of foreboding but brilliantly told. This is a book that will remain etched in your memory long after you've finished it while waiting for the second in the sequence." LOVEREADING.COM "The folkloric history of the two worlds and the mystery of Fin's origins are well balanced, keeping us intrigued and constantly wanting to know more. A great urban fantasy with interesting and engaging characters and a relentless pace. " TOTAL SCI FI ONLINE Fin is a great character - readers will love the element of mystery surrounding his life that they are introduced to right from the very first page. The Double-Edged Sword is the first book of The Nowhere Chronicles and the author leaves the ending perfectly balanced - events are brought to a satisfying conclusion but we are left with enough burning questions to have us waiting hungrily for the next installment... fantasy fans are going to be in seventh heaven." BOOKZONE 4 BOYS BLOG "This is a fun book full of swashbuckling sword play, with secret doorways into hidden realms, and old men who are not at all what they seem. It cracks on at a breakneck pace, never dwelling on any one section for long so that the attention does not have the time to wander. Yet even at full-tilt The Double-Edged Sword remains a fully fleshed world inhabited by three-dimensional characters. Excellent storytelling; recommended." THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF FANTASY BLOG "Engaging, beautifully written, thrilling and with a cast of truly fantastic characters that are easy to believe in, this is a novel for anyone, of any age, who loves good stories. That's what it is all about in the end, the Stories." UN:BOUND
