In a parallel present San Francisco, Natalia Peña works as a hotel maid, practices martial arts, and cares for her eleven-year-old brother, Calvino. In this version of our world, all children start to "wane" when they reach Cal's age; by their teen years, they've lost their ability to feel emotion. But Cal isn't waning. When a mysterious corporation kidnaps him for testing, Natalia's reaction surprises her: she's crushed, and she'll do anything to save her brother from their experiments. But the road to his rescue leads her into the path of a dashing but troubled billionaire's son, a cadre of killers, and, eventually, the shocking truth about waning.

Новая беда пришла в разобщенный мир. Странный туман окутывает улицы и дома, он одурманивает головы так, что люди предстают друг другу в виде чудовищ, но самое во всем этом страшное — многих после тумана находят мертвыми. София Тимс, ведомая авзентинийской картой, узнает, что близ городка Оукринг в штате Нью-Йорк, у южных берегов Жуткого моря, в Черепаховой долине есть тайная роща, где время от времени собираются лакримы — люди без лица. Что, если там, среди них, находятся и ее родители? И София с друзьями отправляется туда, в неизвестность, несмотря на мыслимые и немыслимые опасности, поджидающие ее в пути. «Смертельный туман»…

The final volume in S.E. Grove’s stunning, bestselling Mapmakers trilogy.

At the end of The Golden Specific, Sophia was on her way home to Boston, anticipating her reunion with Theo. But he has been conscripted to fight in the Western War—Prime Minister Broadgirdle’s twisted vision of Manifest Destiny. Shadrack is in his thrall as War Cartologer and cannot help his niece.

Sophia leaves right away to track down her best friend and solve the mystery of her parents once and for all. Then Shadrack hears of a horrifying weapon. It is a red fog called the Crimson Skew, and if you inhale it, you become a murderer. Sophia and her companions—and Theo’s army company—are directly in its path. There is a fate worse than death, and it is about to ruin their lives…

На дворе — лето 1892 года. Годом раньше София и ее друг Тео оправились в путешествие, которому суждено было переписать карту мира. Но родителей своих девочка так и не обнаружила. И вот после бесполезных поисков в архивах и библиотеках хоть какой-нибудь ниточки к тайне исчезновения отца и матери София приходит к выводу: ключ к ее поискам хранит чужая эпоха. Неожиданно она получает анонимное приглашение в секретный архив секты нигилизмийцев, где узнает о дневнике, который вела ее мать. Дневник находится далеко, в Гранаде, но не той Гранаде, которая указана на географических картах, а в Гранаде, лежащей в другой эпохе, получившей название…

The eagerly-awaited sequel to the best-selling The Glass Sentence -- a historical, fantastical adventure perfect for fans of Philip Pullman!

It is the summer of 1892, one year since Sophia Tims and her friend Theo embarked upon the dangerous adventure that rewrote the map of the world. Since their return home to Boston, she has continued searching for clues to her parents’ disappearance, combing archives and libraries, grasping at even the most slender leads. Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer in order to follow those leads across the country—but one after another proves to be a dead end.

Then Sophia discovers that a crucial piece of the puzzle exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and that one remarkable person is part of both.

There is a city that holds all of the answers—but it cannot be found on any map. Surrounded by plague, it can only be reached by a journey through darkness and chaos, which is at the same time the plague’s cure: The Golden Specific.

Давно, почти век назад, на нашу Землю пришла беда. Прервалась связь времен, вселенская катастрофа расколола время на части, карта мира переменилась, и с той поры разные части света живут каждая в своем времени. Родители Софии путешественники, они пролагают пути между разделившимися эпохами. Но однажды след их теряется, они пропадают без вести. А вскоре неизвестные похищают Шадрака, знаменитого бостонского ученого, родного дядю Софии. И девочка вместе с другом отправляется на его поиски. Помощницей служит ей стеклянная карта, магический инструмент, позволяющий находить дорогу в разобщенном времени и пространстве. София еще не знает, что…

She has only seen the world through maps. She had no idea they were so dangerous.

Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World—a world changed by the Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time periods. Eight years ago, her parents left her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned. Life with her brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle has taught Sophia to take care of herself.

Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been outside of Boston, is the only one who can search for him. Together with Theo, a refugee from the West, she travels over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates and traders, and relies on a combination of Shadrack’s maps, common sense, and her own slantwise powers of observation. But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack’s life, they are in danger of losing their own.

The Glass Sentence plunges readers into a time and place they will not want to leave, and introduces them to a heroine and hero they will take to their hearts. It is a remarkable debut.
