Professor Scarlett Thomas of the University of Kent’s School of English releases her highly anticipated second book in the Worldquake series.
Effie Truelove has learned to travel through magical books to the Otherworld.
Maximillian Underwood, Effie’s classmate, is more interested in the dark and forbidden Underworld.
When Effie and Maximilian both mysteriously vanish, their friends Raven, Lexy and Wolf don’t know where to turn for help. Raven is a witch and her horse, Echo, has revealed that Effie is in deep danger and time is running out.
To make things worse, Raven’s mother, the author Laurel Wilde, is caught up in a plot with ruthless billionaire Albion Freake, who, it seems, will stop at nothing to become invincible.
Scarlett Thomas will be launching The Chosen Ones at this week’s Creative Writing Reading Series, on Tuesday the 8th May in Keynes SCR. £2 in the bucket for wine, juice and inspiration.
The Chosen One is the second book in the Worldquake series and is published by Cannongate Books.
