Eternity Engine

The final instalment in the breathtaking Orphans of the Tide trilogy, which The Times calls `Unputdownable`. The seas have parted to reveal the remains of humanity`s lost empire and opened a path from Shipwreck Island to the Enemy`s City. Now only Ellie Lancaster and her orphan friends can prevent a terrible war. As Kate marches north at the head of her army, panic infests the City as the Enemy`s strength grows. For the parting of the seas has also uncovered the Eternity Engine, a dreadful machine from before the Drowning, with the power to remake the world - or destroy it forever . . . The critically-acclaimed Orphans of the Tide trilogy reaches its spine-tingling climax and dramatic conclusion. Perfect reading for fans of His Dark Materials or Vashti Hardy.
