Summary

Summary

Michael Grant's Messenger of Fear is a haunting narrative that examines the nature of good and evil in every human. Fans of Michelle Hodkin's Mara Dyer trilogy and Stephen King will love this satisfyingly twisted series.

Mara Todd wakes in a field of dead grass, a heavy mist pressing down on her. She is terrified, afraid that she is dead. She can't remember who she is or anything about her past. Is it because of the boy who appears? He calls himself the Messenger of Fear. If the world does not bring justice to those who do evil, the Messenger will. He offers the wicked a game. If they win, they go free. If they lose, they will live their greatest fear. Either way, their sanity will be challenged.

It is a world of fair but harsh justice. Of retribution and redemption. And mystery. Why was Mara chosen to be the Messenger's apprentice? What has she done to deserve this terrible fate? She won't find out until three of the wicked receive justice. And when she does, she will be shattered.

Editorial Reviews

“This book gave me chill after chill. My message to you: read it in a safe, well-lighted place. It’s fright fiction at its best!” —R. L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author
“The enviably cunning and ever versatile Michael Grant explodes on the scene with Messenger of Fear, a palpitating horror fantasy mash-up with a genius twist that blew my mind. I walked through O’Hare with this book in my face—I couldn’t stop reading!” —Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy
“Mesmerizing, horrifying, and deeply thought provoking.” —Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author
“Grant’s new series starts off with a bang and never lets up. Mara is a strong, relatable character who stands up for herself, while also regretful of some of the things she has done in her past. The games the Messenger of Fear plays with his victims are gruesome and graphic, which will delight those readers who enjoy a little gore and horror in their books…A promising start to a series with a truly unique concept.” —School Library Journal
“An unusual and intriguing puzzle of a book.” —Kirkus Reviews
