Reviews

Praise for The Nightsilver Promise: "Avery's fast-paced and inventive novel features an alternate London that runs on clockwork and dragon fire, an Amerika where dragons still roam, and independent boroughs floating above the cities below. The history and philosophy of the empire are astonishingly detailed, and a cliff-hanger ending will send readers scrambling for a sequel." -- Booklist"Paisley's warmth and intelligence shine through this exploration of fate's inevitability and the conflict between science and magic." -- Publishers Weekly"Destiny, science, stars, and a sprinkle of magic." -- Vashti Hardy, author of Brightstorm"A smart, original fantasy adventure." -- Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series
