Superior Saturday (The Keys to the Kingdom series) By Garth Nix Published by Allen & Unwin 2008 |
ARTHUR PENHALIGON has wrested five of the Keys from
their immortal guardians, the Trustees of the Will. But winning the Sixth Key poses a greater
challenge then any he has faced before. Superior Saturday is not just one of the
Trustees, she is also the oldest Denizen and the most powerful sorcerer in the
house. Everything seems to be part of a plan she has been hatching for ten
thousand years.
Arthur is beset
on all sides. Nothing is eroding the
House, and the only power of the Keys can hold back the tide of destruction. His home city is under attack. His allies are unreliable. How will Arthur get inside the apparently
impregnable Upper House? And even if he
does, will the Sixth Part of the Will and the Sixth Key be enough to counter
Saturday’s sorcerous hordes and stop her bid for ultimate power?
