Brief Summary of Book: Deathscent (Intrigues of the Reflected Realm, 1) by Robin Jarvis Here is a quick description and cover image of book Deathscent (Intrigues of the Reflected Realm, 1) written by Robin Jarvis which was published in 2001. Before becoming an author, Robin was a model-maker for TV and films, and always produces amazing creations to accompany his books. He is also author of the Dancing Jax trilogy, a dark fantasy for young adults in which humans fall under the power of an evil magician and his demonic book. Later works include Tales of the Wyrd Museum, a timeslip trilogy inspired by Norse mythology Deathscent, science fiction with an alternate Tudor twist and the Hagwood series, where morphing creatures fight to protect the forest that is their home. His mixture of magic and horror enthralled readers and he was one of those authors whose reputation grew like wildfire as a result of `playground buzz' in the late 80s/early 90s. Robin Jarvis started writing in 1988 and quickly became a bestselling author with his Deptford Mice and Whitby Witches series. Deathscent This is an inventive and original novel. He showed me the telegram, and asked me what he should do. It was in order to avoid an unpleasant situation that instead of going home, as he normally would have done, he had gone to the resort near Tokyo to spend his holidays. Moreover, he was not in the least fond of the girl. Acording to our modern outlook, he was really too young to marry. For some time his parents had been trying to persuade him, much against his will, to marry a certain girl. My friend, however, did not believe this. His mother, the telegram explained, was ill. It had taken me a few days to get together enough money to cover the necessary expenses, and it was only three days after my arrival that my friend received a telegram from home demanding his return. I went there at the insistence of a friend of mine, who had gone to Kamakura to swim. It was at Kamakura, during the summer holidays, that I first met Sensei. And with pen in hand, I cannot bring myself to write of him in any other way. Whenever the memory of him comes back to me now, I find that I think of him as Sensei still. It is not because I consider it more discreet, but it is because I find it more natural that I do so. I shall therefore refer to him simply as Sensei, and not by his real name. |
