June 2014 Debut of the Month ***Suitable for 16+ due to strong content A powerful story of the teenagers who are chosen at the Reckoning. It is a coming-of-age ceremony in a society in which everyone’s thoughts can be all too easily heard. Silver Blackthorn is chosen as an Offering at her Reckoning.
Is it because she has always been a rebel and is intent on finding ways of circumnavigating the technology which monitors her life? No one knows what happens to the offerings once they have been sent to Windsor Castle. Soon Silver is trapped behind the locked doors of the enormous building.

This coming-of-age test not only decides her place in society - Elite, Member, Inter or Trog - but also determines that Silver is to become an Offering for King Victor.

Kerry Wilkinson was one of two things as a child. If you ask him, he was a well-meaning, slightly hyperactive young man with an active imagination. If you ask his mother and/or teachers, he was a bit of a pain in the bum. Before the age of flat screen televisions, laptops, mobiles phones, hover boards and the internet, there were BBC B Microcomputers and there were real books with actual paper pages. Really! Kerry grew up playing ropey-looking computer games that you needed a keyboard for, being rubbish at football, and reading science fiction and fantasy novels. The Silver Blackthorn trilogy is Kerry's first fantasy work. His other series, the Jessica Daniel crime books, are also published by Pan Macmillan. He is also definitely not a pain in the bum.
