- Baker & Taylor
The half-feral son of a Sithe nobleman is exiled to the mortal world of sixteenth-century Scotland during a time of religious wars and brutal witch-hunts. - Baker & Taylor
When the Veil separating their peaceful world from the warring mortal world at the end of the 16th century is threatened with destruction by the Sithe queen, half-feral Seth MacGregor is exiled with his brother to the full-mortal world and resolves to save the Veil in spite of a brutal witch hunt that threatens their survival. 30,000 first printing. - McMillan Palgrave
At the end of the sixteenth century, religious upheaval brings fear, superstition, and doubt to the lives of mortals. Yet unbeknownst to them, another world lies just beyond the Veil: the realm of the Sithe, a fierce and beautiful people for whom a full-mortal life is but the blink of an eye. The Veil protects and hides their worldâ¦but it is fraying at the edges, and not all think it should be repaired.
Discarded by his mother and ignored by his father, sixteen-year-old Seth MacGregor has grown up half wild in his father's fortress, with only his idolized older brother, Conal, for family. When Conal quarrels with the Sithe queen and is forced into exile in the full-mortal world, Seth volunteers to go with him.
But life beyond the Veil is even more dangerous than they expected, and Seth and Conal soon find themselves embroiled in a witch-huntâin which they are the quarry. Trapped between the queen's machinations at home and the superstitious violence of the otherworld, Seth must act before both of them are fed to the witch-hunters' firesâ¦
Brimming with intrigue and rebellion, Firebrand is the first book in the Rebel Angels series by Gillian Philip, the Carnegie Medalânominated author of Crossing the Line and multi-award-nominated Bad Faith.
