In book two of the critically acclaimed Obsidian Mirror series, New York Times bestselling author Catherine Fisher, called “the first lady of British fantasy” by the London Times, once again shows us that she is a master of world-building and surprising plot-twists.

But the Mirror has plans of its own.

She is the author of Incarceron, Sapphique, and the Obsidian Mirror quartet, among many others, was named the first Young People's Laureate in Wales, and was called "the first lady of British fantasy" by the London Times.

Praise for Slanted Worlds:
"A sumptuous genre-blend of time travel, dark fantasy and post-apocalyptic thriller.  Gorgeous, atmospheric, and addictive." --Kirkus Reviews

“[Catherine Fisher’s] storytelling skills are decidedly—and wondrously—old school. Fisher deftly teases readers with cliff-hanging action, complex yet sympathetic characters with competing agendas, and villains that put a true chill in the reader’s spine.” –VOYA, starred review
Praise for Obsidian Mirror:
"Fisher effectively alternates brooding mystery with thrilling action. This blend of science fiction and fantasy is certified fresh." -Booklist

*"Full of unexpected twists and turns that will draw readers in...fans of Kady Cross, Cassandre Clare, and Doctor Who will be enthralled with this must-read title." -VOYA (starred review)

"Brilliantly disconcerting, scary and superbly written by the leading lady of British fantasy." -The London Times
