Jonathan Stroud - Scarlett And Browne 02 - The Notorious

A fast-paced fantasy adventure set in a broken, future England, following the further exploits of the outlaws Scarlett and Browne.



Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne have outwitted their pursuers and escaped into the wilds of Mercia and Northumbria, and it’s not long before they become famous across the Seven Kingdoms for their audacious heists. No bank is safe from a pair with the ability to read minds and make a perfect shot. But neither is fully able to escape the past – as they discover when a dangerous job turns sour. Soon old enemies and sinister new threats are pressing in on every side, and Scarlett and Albert must pull off an impossible mission. Can they hope to outwit the Faith Houses and the Brothers of the Hand – and save the people they hold most dear?



The second book in a phenomenal trilogy from the bestselling children's novelist.
