Synopsis
The squabbling Norse gods and goddesses of Runemarks are back! And there's a feisty new heroine on the scene: Maggie, a girl the same age as Maddy but brought up a world apart - literally, in World's End, the focus of the Order in which Maddy was raised. Now the Order is destroyed, Chaos is filling the vacuum left behind... and is breaching the everyday world.
A chilling prophecy from the Oracle.
A conflict between two girls.
And with just twelve days to stave off the Apocalypse, carnage is about to be unleashed...

Review
"A second book by the Chocolat author in a series for young adults that reinterpre and adapt Norse mythology... but this time [Maddy] has some unexpected allies. 4*" -- Natalie Bowen Nottingham Evening Post 20111118 "Runelight is enjoyable, funny and dramatic. (8/10)" Liverpool Daily Post 20111118 "Imagine if civilisation as we know had been shaped wholly by the Vikings that invaded our shores more than a millennium ago. Welcome to the world of Joanne Harris's Runelight." Liverpool Echo 20111107 "Runelight is the second in a series of books for young adults that reinterpret and adapt Norse mythology. [...] Despite the death of her friend Odin, Maddy must once again fight the forces of Chaos as her old enemies seek to use her unknown sister to regain strength." Bristol Evening Post 20111119 "Runelight is enjoyable, funny and dramatic, but sadly over-long. 4/5" Hull Daily Mail 20111119

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The next gripping tale of magic, adventure and Norse mythology from the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of CHOCOLAT and THE GOSPEL OF LOKI. The squabbling Norse gods and goddesses of Runemarks are back! And there's a feisty new heroine on the scene: Maggie, a girl the same age as Maddy but brought up a world apart - literally, in World's End, the focus of the Order in which Maddy was raised. Now the Order is destroyed, Chaos is filling the vacuum left behind. and is breaching the everyday world. Six hundred miles apart, two girls each bear on their skin a runemark: a symbol of the Old Days when the known Worlds were ruled by the gods from their sky citadel, Asgard. Now Asgard lies in ruins, and the power of the gods has long since been destroyed. Or so everyone thinks. But nothing is lost for ever, and the gods haven't given up yet (nor stopped squabbling!) and they want the power of the runes borne by Maddy and Maggie - these new runes, which carry huge potential, their runelight shining out as a portent to the future. Soon both girls are swept into a maelstrom of cataclysmic events that are to draw them closer and closer to each other, and nearer and nearer to a horrific struggle where each must prove where their loyalty lies . . . Filled with inventive and humorous detail, trickery and treachery, carnage and lunacy, Runelight is the second title - following Runemarks - in a series of gloriously imaginative and dramatic tales about the Norse gods. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR009312467
