Synopses & Reviews
Its tough being the foretold savior of your race. Rory MacGregor, kept a virtual prisoner in his own fathers dun and hunted by the Sithe queen, needs a break now and then—and what better fun than tearing the Veil no one else can tear and escaping to the Otherworld?
In that dangerous Otherworld, Hannah Falconer is as trapped by circumstance as the strange wild Sithe boy whose horse nearly kills her. When Rory tricks her into crossing the Veil and entering his world, shes sure it cant be any worse than her usual home life.
Meanwhile, Seth MacGregor is fighting to keep his clan safe from the malevolent queen Kate. When an attack comes after years of stalemate, he is shocked to discover who is leading it...and who else is conspiring against him.
Wolfsbane, the third novel in Gillian Philips Rebel Angels series is enthralling and suspenseful, with a range of characters appealing to every age.
Review
For Firebrand
“As ferociously compelling as Suzanne Collinss The Hunger Games, with which it invites comparison.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The immortal (though not invincible) Sithe world of the brothers and the all-too-familiar human world come alive with expertly drawn details.” —RT Book Reviews
“Once a year, a new novelist really blows me away. Last year it was Suzanne Collins with The Hunger Games. This year it's Gillian Philips Firebrand... A fantastically violent, utterly thrilling tale...Firebrand is one of the very best...Philips clear prose is as fiery as whiskey...The best fantasy novel of 2010.” —The Sunday Times
