An exciting historical fantasy YA by award-winning New Zealand author Sherryl Jordan.
“Words hold a terrible power. They can break a heart, or give it a reason to live. They can grant freedom – or begin a war.”
In a world where it is a crime to speak against injustice, a jester dares to perform a play that enrages a powerful tyrant prince. The jester’s daughter, Giovanna, must journey into the heart of danger to turn back the terrible consequences unleashed by her father’s words – and becomes entangled in a treacherous plot to overthrow the prince. She alone holds a secret which, if made public, will end the prince’s reign and liberate his oppressed people. But when to openly denounce him brings certain death, will Giovanna have the courage to speak out?
Staff Review by Sarah McDuling
I was so excited when I heard that award-winning author Sherryl Jordan had a new book coming out. The Raging Quiet is one of my childhood favourites – I’ve read it so many times over the years I almost know it by heart. A few years ago I was utterly charmed by Ransomwood and now I’ve fallen in love with this latest historical fantasy from Sherryl Jordan.
I went into The Anger of Angels with high expectations and I’m delighted to say that it was sheer perfection! This book is just so captivating and full of heart. I was instantly charmed by the characters and enchanted by the world – I’m sure this is another Sherryl Jordan book I will be re-reading again and again.
