Description
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 alternative seventeenth 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.
Review
Liliath is an icon-maker who can summon angels and have them do her bidding. Most people believed she was dead after the Kingdom of Ystara is destroyed, but she has been asleep for over one hundred years. Now it’s time to finish the plan she started...
Agnez, Simeon, Dorotea and Henri are four friends who all sense something familiar in each other. But when Liliath’s plot includes them, they are all in grave danger.
Garth Nix creates the most amazing fantasy worlds and this story is no exception.
Readers will be captivated by the four friends as they struggle to make sense of their strange connections. Full of heroes, beastlings and angels, this is an epic fantasy that readers in Year 9 and up will absolutely love and will not be able to put down until the last page.
