Description
Robin Jarvis's latest creation is a world set in an alternate past - in a genre that can only be described as Scyence Fyctione! This strangely familiar Britain consists of ninety-three individual 'blessed isles' floating in the deep darkness and the story begins in December in the Gloriana Kalendar, when Elizabeth Tudor has reigned for one hundred and seventy-eight years. Into this world - a place with no animals and little technology - comes a stranger, Brindle. No one knows where he's from, or how he's arrived. But he brings strange implements and practices, and he's about to change things forever...
Reviews / Votes
Deathscent This is an inventive and original novel. On every level - language, character and plot - the reader is provided with a sustained recreation of a mysterious and intriguing world. School Librarian About The Raven's Knot: This book is mind-blowing, shocking and pretty darn good! Firstly I would just like to say that I love Robin Jarvis anyway, he is great it was full of suspense and surprises. Jarvo rocks, may he write books for ever!
