A new fantasy masterpiece from Garth Nix bestselling author of the Old Kingdom series. More
than a century has passed since Liliath crept into the empty sarcophagus of Saint Marguerite
fleeing the Fall of Ystara. But she emerges from her magical sleep still beautiful looking no
more than nineteen and once again renews her single-minded quest to be united with her lover
Palleniel the archangel of Ystara. It's a seemingly impossible quest but Liliath is one of
the greatest practitioners of angelic magic to have ever lived summoning angels and forcing
them to do her bidding. Four young people hold her interest: Simeon a studious
doctor-in-training Henri a dedicated fortune hunter Agnez a glory-seeking musketeer and
Dorotea icon-maker and scholar of angelic magic. The four feel a strange kinship from the
moment they meet but do not suspect their importance. And none of them know just how Liliath
plans to use them as mere pawns in her plan no matter the cost to everyone else . . . Fans of
Cassandra Clare Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo will fall in love with Angel Mage a feminist
fantasy that takes place in an alternate European world ruled by fearsome magic and deadly
passions. * PW Best Books 2019 * Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the
