Bright We Burn

In this thrilling finale, Lada realises that it is only by destroying everything that came before - including her relationships - that she can truly build the country she wants. A lonely Mehmed knows that if Lada continues in her defiance, only death will prosper, and with Radu’s return to the capital, the two must now stand together against the woman they both love, in a war against the girl prince.

Who will live? Who will die? And who will rule triumphant?

Reviews

A dark, gritty, and seriously badass epic that will have you dying for more . . . required reading for every feminist fantasy fan

—— Praise for AND I DARKEN , Buzzfeed

Lada – so ugly and mean that readers will adore her – stubbornly rejects gender roles . . . and the characters . . . benefit from complex motivations and an unconventional love triangle. Addictive intrigue

Here is a sweetly and simply told tale of a little boy from a very little asteroid, so big with meaning that even important people will find wisdom in it; so simply told that even critics and college professors ought to understand its beauty and meaning; a thin little book filled with rich substance; something easy to read and remember and hard to forget

—— Los Angeles Times

Antione de Saint-Exupéry’s story has enchanted audience of all ages… The story’s wisdom on loneliness – in cities crowded with people – and consumerism – in a world replete with natural joys – remains as resonant as ever. Morpurgo’s translation reminds us why

—— Samuel Earle , Observer

Heart-warming

—— OK, 5-starred review

Oodles of charm and silliness

—— Herald

Bursting with loveable characters, fast-paced adventure and, of course, Christmas spirit . . . A highly recommended read

—— Booktrust

A magical adventure that practically explodes off the page
