The Mime Order
The Mime Order, the captivating second novel in the bestselling Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon, returns with a stunning new edition featuring gorgeous cover artwork and updated text. From the acclaimed author of The Priory of the Orange Tree, this gripping narrative dives deeper into a world where dark forces conspire against those with extraordinary abilities.
In a realm where clairvoyants are brutally oppressed, Paige Mahoney emerges as a beacon of defiance. Fresh on the heels of a daring escape from the hellish confines of Sheol I, a notorious prison camp where clairvoyants were held captive and exploited, Paige fights to find refuge in the treacherous underworld of London. However, her journey is fraught with peril. Scion, a dominating regime that has allied with the otherworldly Rephaim, seeks to eradicate all clairvoyants, turning them into subservient pawns for their ruthless agenda.
The fierce and unyielding Nashira Sargas, the vengeful leader of the Rephaim, is determined to recapture Paige. As Paige navigates the labyrinthine and dangerous streets of London's underworld, she must outwit not only Nashira but also the many other adversaries who hunt her. Along the way, she battles with trust and betrayal, discovers hidden alliances, and uncovers unsettling truths about her own identity and the depths of her power.
Described by the Independent as 'a trailblazer for young talent,' Samantha Shannon weaves intricate world-building with heart-pounding suspense and richly developed characters. The Mime Order is not just a tale of resistance and survival but also a profound exploration of freedom and oppression, and the lengths one would go to reclaim their destiny in an unforgiving world.
With its blend of dystopian elements and supernatural intrigue, this instalment is sure to captivate both returning fans and newcomers alike. Experience the tension, mystery, and relentless action that defines The Mime Order, a cornerstone in a series that has redefined the landscape of modern fantasy fiction.
