The long-awaited sequel to Dragonlinks.
Five pentagram gems
Two people want them
Only one can have them “Anyone who has read Dragonlinks will recognise Paul Collins as a writer who truly understands the power of high fantasy. It is the power to tease the imagination with worlds so exotic, yet so seemingly familiar, that we allow ourselves to recognise within them the best and worst that we can be. From the opening battle with the deadmoon warriors to the final confrontation with the Preceptor’s fearsome legions, through the wonders and dangers of paraworlds, the Countess Jelindel, scholar, Adept and fighter, must call upon all her power, intelligence and courage ─ and trust in the loyalty of friends ─ to restore balance. Share the journey on the Dragonfang. The ride is exhilarating!"

A delectable true-crime story of scandal and murder at America's most celebrated university.On November 23, 1849, in the heart of Boston, one of the city's richest men vanished. Dr. George Parkman, a Brahmin who owned much of Boston's West End, was last seen that afternoon visiting his alma mater, Harvard Medical School. Police scoured city tenements and the harbor—some leads put Parkman at sea or in Manhattan—but a Harvard janitor held a much darker suspicion: that their ruthless benefactor had never even left the Medical School building. His shocking discovery engulfed America in one of its most infamous trials, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. John White Webster, Harvard's professor of chemistry. A baffling case of red herrings, grave robbing, and dismemberment, it became a landmark in the use of medical forensics. Rich in characters and atmosphere, Blood & Ivy explores the fatal entanglement of new science and old money in one of America's greatest...]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2018 14:55:46 +0200 The Only Game in the Galaxy https://children-s.library.land/paul-collins/397556-the_only_game_in_the_galaxy.html https://children-s.library.land/paul-collins/397556-the_only_game_in_the_galaxy.html

The author of Common Sense and The Rights of Man, a radical on the run from the law in London, a founding father of the United States of America, a senator of revolutionary France, Thomas Paine alone claims a key role in the development of three modern democracies. He was a walking revolution in human form – the most dangerous man alive. But in death Paine's story turns truly bizarre – his bones were taken from New York to London and eventually disappeared. In Paris, London and New York, in bars, grocers, shops and national libraries, crossing paths along the way with, among others, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, William Cobbett, Walt Whitman, Charles Darwin and even Lord Bryon, Paul Collins sets himself the challenge of finding out what happened to Paine's bones, and ends up telling one of the most extraordinary stories of modern history.]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:08:46 +0200 The Spell of Undoing https://children-s.library.land/paul-collins/404749-the_spell_of_undoing.html https://children-s.library.land/paul-collins/404749-the_spell_of_undoing.html

Review

Younger readers will greatly enjoy the fast-paced, actions-packed story and larger-than-life characters. The lively dialogue would also make it an enjoyable story for parents to read aloud to younger children. --ALIA's InCite journal

Wardragon is the culmination of The Jelindel Chronicles in a soaring saga. Finally Jelindel, with her allies, Zimak and Daretor, has tracked the alien mailshirt across two radically different worlds. But the journey is perilous when each step is lined with flying beasts, metal wasps, mercenaries and assassins . . . and the mailshirt linked up with the evil Preceptor to create a deadly enemy. All Jelindel has is a little magic, Zimak's wit and Daretor's sword to scrape through and that is not enough. Collins captures a terrifying, tense world with a touch of humour and holds it to the last shattering battle.
