Synopsis
The first foray into young adult literature by Joanne Harris-- the bestselling author of CHOCOLAT--this is an intense, humorous fantasy about how a young girl named Maddy Smith innocently holds the fate of the Worlds in her hands. Centuries after Ragnorak, the final battle of the gods, the Middle World is an embattled land based on Norse mythology, and ruled by the Order, a brutal religious sect. Maddy is both lucky and unlucky enough to be born with a rune mark on her hand, and her magical dabbling horrifies the people of her village. But with the help of the mysterious One-Eye and goblins, Maddy discovers that her magic is the key to everything.

Industry Reviews
"Throughout, Harris demonstrates a knack for moving seamlessly between the serious and the comic, and her lengthy book moves swiftly. Playing fast and loose with Norse mythology, she creates a glorious and complex world replete with rune-based magical spells, bickering gods, exciting adventures and difficult moral issues."
