NEWT'S EMERALD
What do you get when you cross internationally bestselling fantasy author Garth Nix with Regency romance and adventure? Magic! NEWT’S EMERALD is a fresh new take on the Regency with the tagline “Magic, Maids and Masquerades”.
After the Newington Emerald is stolen at the height of a conjured storm, eighteen year-old Lady Truthful Newington goes to London to search for the magical heirloom of her house. But as no well-bred young lady can hunt the metropolis for a stolen jewel, she has to disguise herself as a man, and is soon caught up in a dangerous adventure where she must risk her life, her reputation . . . and her heart.
Balancing twin roles as a young lady coming out in her first season and as an intrepid young man up against an evil sorceress isn’t easy, but Truthful has to manage it. Her father’s life and even the fate of England may depend upon her recovering the Newington Emerald!
Garth Nix grew up in Canberra. He studied for a BA in Professional Writing at the University of Canberra. Garth has worked as a public servant, bookseller, book editor and literary agent. In 2002, following his outstanding international success, Garth returned to full-time writing. As of July 2007, Garth’s books have sold in excess of 4,500,000 copies internationally. His books have appeared in the bestseller lists of the New York Times, the Sunday Times (UK), Publishers Weekly (US), The Australian, The Bookseller (UK) and Bookseller & Publisher (Australia). His books have been translated into 28 languages. Garth lives in Sydney with his wife Anna, and their two sons.
