«Messenger of Fear» is the young adult fantasy novel by Michael Grant, published by Farshore in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Mara wakes in a ghostly place, remembering nothing of her life, before a mysterious Messenger in black with skull buttons. The Messenger sees the harm some young people cause the world and offers them a game: if they win, they go free; if they lose, they suffer their greatest fear. Mara must discover what connection she has to these trials.
First installment of the «Messenger of Fear» series; the novel was originally published in 2014.
Aimed at young adult readers and adults fond of dark fantasy and supernatural suspense.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
