Now they are back for a thrilling new adventure in the city of Toll, a magical place which no one can enter or leave without paying a price. With an inventive cast of remarkable characters, a city which has a life of its own and a lot of trickery and treachery, this is a hugely entertaining roller coaster of a fantasy that picks up threads from previous stories while creating a magic of its own.
Twilight Robbery is the extraordinary sequel to the award-winning Fly By Night by Costa winner Frances Hardinge.
The city at night is a dangerous place . . .
Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent are in trouble again. Escaping disaster by the skin of their teeth, they find refuge in Toll, the strange gateway town where visitors may neither enter nor leave without paying a price. By day, the city is well-mannered and orderly; by night, it's the haunt of rogues and villains. Wherever there's a plot, there's sure to be treachery, and wherever there's treachery, there's sure to be trouble - and where there's trouble, Clent, Mosca and the web-footed apocalypse Saracen the goose can't be far behind. But as past deeds catch up with them and old enemies appear, it looks as if this time there's no way out . . .
'Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now' - Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls.
