ANGEL MAGE

Garth Nix

An epic YA Fantasy brimming with court intrigue, deadly magic, and terrifying monsters.
From fantasy master Garth Nix comes a new world of angels, heroes, gunpowder and high magic.

The icon-maker and angel-summoner Liliath, long-believed dead, has woken from her century-long sleep to pick up the threads of a plan that has already destroyed one kingdom and may yet destroy another. To succeed, Liliath must bring together Agnez the musketeer; Simeon the doctor; Dorotea the mage; and Henri, one of the Cardinal's clerks, and take them into utmost danger ...

Set in an alternate 17th century where angels can be summoned (and controlled) by those with a talent for magic, Angel Mage is an action-packed story of angels, heroes, gunpowder and high magic.

Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia. A full-time writer since 2001, he has worked as a literary agent, marketing consultant, book editor, book publicist, book sales representative, bookseller, and part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve. Garth's books include the award-winning fantasy novels Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen; Clariel, a prequel in the Abhorsen series; the cult favorite teen science fiction novel Shade's Children; and his critically acclaimed collection of short stories, To Hold the Bridge. His fantasy novels for younger readers include The Ragwitch, the six books of the Seventh Tower sequence, the Keys to the Kingdom series, and A Confusion of Princes. His books have appeared on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, the Guardian, and the Australian, and his work has been translated in forty languages. He lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and two children.

US Book announcement: Nix Closes Double at HC: Australian bestseller Garth Nix (Old Kingdom series) sold North American rights to two new novels to Katherine Tegen. Tegen, acquiring for her eponymous imprint at HarperCollins Children's Books, brokered the agreement with Jill Grinberg of Jill Grinberg Literary Management. HC described the first book in the deal, Angel Mage, as "a high fantasy set in an alternative 17th-century Europe with beastlings, angels, and magic." Angel Mage is set for a worldwide publication in October. The second title, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London, is set in 1980s London and follows an art student who, HC said, "is drawn into the arcane business of the booksellers whose secret sideline is to ensure that mythic entities and dormant legends do not disastrously intrude into the modern world." Booksellers of London is slated for 2020. Read more...
