The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person's inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality-an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society's archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will.Most of them.

'A breath of the freshest air imaginable. She cuts through the smog of hype and platitude' Boyd Tonkin, Independent

Silver Hill Village, 2012. On the twentieth day of the seventh moon Kwok Yun is making her way across the rice fields on her Flying Pigeon bicycle. Her world is turned upside down when she sights a UFThing - a spinning plate in the sky - and helps the Westerner in distress whom she discovers in the shadow of the alien craft. It's not long before the village is crawling with men from the National Security and Intelligence Agency armed with pointed questions. And when the Westerner that Kwok Yun saved repays her kindness with a large dollar cheque she becomes a local celebrity, albeit under constant surveillance...

With Original Illustrations

THE STORY OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS - With Original Illustrations. A BOOK THAT INSPIRED TOLKIEN. Professor J.R.R. Tolkien greatly enjoyed Arthurian stories, which he called powerful. In fact, it was he who translated Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (a 14th-century romance about one of Arthurs knights) into modern English. So profoundly did the legends of King Arthur move Tolkien that a few years before he wrote The Hobbit he began to compose a poem in alliterative verse, entitled "The Fall of Arthur". Literary researchers have found several parallels between the Arthurian legends and The Lord of the Rings. It was 1903 when Howard Pyle's beautifully illustrated "The Story of King Arthur and his Knights" was first published. J.R.R. Tolkien was an eleven year old boy. With what relish must he have seized upon this new version of the great legend, complete with captivating illustrations And how eagerly must that young mind have soaked up the heroic visions that would later help shape Middle-earth and "The Lord of the Rings".
