A glorious epic fantasy in the grand tradition of CS Lewis and Philip Pullman, and a major publishing event, The Mirror Chronicles will take you into another world, and on the adventure of your lifetime…
Half of your soul is missing.
The lost part is in the mirror.
And unless Sylas Tate can save you, you will never be whole again.
Sylas Tate leads a lonely existence since his mother died. But then the tolling of a giant bell draws him into another world known as the Other, where he discovers not only that he has an inborn talent for the nature-influenced magic of the Fourth Way, but also that his mother might just have come from this strange parallel place.
Meanwhile, evil forces are stirring, and an astounding revelation awaits Sylas as to the true nature of the Other. As violence looms and the stakes get ever higher, Sylas must seek out a girl called Naeo who might just be the other half of his soul – otherwise the entire universe may fall…
Selected praise for THE BELL BETWEEN WORLDS:
“Effortless... elaborate... rich in both magic and fantasy... capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials” The Bookseller We Love This Book
“This book... should certainly see Johnstone's name in the fantasy hall of fame... An absolute joy to read... Fantastically exciting... Breathtaking... Quite simply, possibly the best book that I have or will read this year" Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books
“Not since Harry Potter have I devoured a fantasy world as much.” Readaraptor
“Johnstone offers his readers an enormous and richly created world to explore in this elaborately constructed fantasy.”
Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids
“Engrossing... Dramatic... Highly recommended” The Bookbag
“Magnificently written... Truly wonderful... a little bit of magic & lots of adventure” Lamont Books
“Exciting, disturbing, lyrical, frightening and hugely imaginative, but ultimately warm and deep in its humanity.... certainly the best 'classic' fantasy I have come across so far from the last 14 years” Magic Fiction Since Potter
“A thrilling adventure, guaranteed to keep readers utterly enthralled” DuBray Books
“A brilliant storyteller... beautiful & evocative... Interesting & complex” The Flutterby Room
“Epic.. A vivid fantasy world.. convincingly created & sustained... danger lurks & plot twists on every page... Will enthrall the 12+ readership” Reading Time, Children's Book Council of Australia
“A beautifully written book, featuring a vividly imagined alternative world. The author does a great job of bringing the fantasy world to life and creating a new vision of magic and wonder through the lyrically descriptive writing ... Jaw-dropping”
