Advent

The first volume in this debut fantasy trilogy takes readers on an astonishing journey between modern times and a long-forgotten magical world. Johannes Faust is the greatest magician of the 16th century. He possesses a ring that contains all of the magic in the world. Gavin Stokes is a misunderstood 15-year-old living in present-day London. He possesses something special too—the ability to see things that aren't really there. Unable to deal with Gavin's strangeness, his parents ship him off to stay with his weird aunt at Pendurra, a forgotten estate in a remote corner of England where echoes of magic are said to remain. There, Gavin's fate entwines with choices Faust made centuries ago. The magic that was once lost has now been found, and the reunion of the two very different worlds will come at a terrible price.
