About this eBook

The astonishing new fantasy from the award-winning author of The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray

A subterranean world of vast caverns, underground seas, crystalline forests. A civilisation born of darkness, in darkness, protected by shadows. A city of merchants, whose eyes have turned upward to the surface, where the lethal light of day beats down on their world. A conspiracy so vast that it will swallow them all ...

A stunningly original fantasy from a multi-award winning author. With a beautiful baroque world, sharp characterisation and Chris Wooding's trademark insight into the fantasy genre, the dawning of Halflight is an event more than worth waiting for.

A very different approach to writing this and it is marvelous. Almost impossible to put down.

There a reason the book is backwards? Starts at chapter 30 and goes to chapter 0?
