"Rise of the Darklings hits the ground running on page one, and never slows down for a minute. Crilley depicts the dark, complex worlds of both Victorian London and Faerie in prose that manages to be both clear and evocative. Emily Snow is just my kind of brave, outspoken heroine, and this story gives her adventures worthy of her. I can hardly wait to see what comes next." --Patricia Wrede, author of The Thirteenth Child

"full of dark wonders and magical delights. I ate up every scrap of this wonderful book and was hungry for more." --Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief.

Some things, once glimpsed, can never be unseen...

It was a morning like any other, frigid and gray, when Emily Snow took to the streets of Victorian London to earn the pennies that would keep her and her little brother alive for another day. But a chance turning took her through a dark alley, and there she witnessed an extraordinary battle between fierce, tiny creatures no taller than Emily’s knee.

Now Emily’s life will never be the same, for she can see the world of Faerie. And once seen, she can not turn away; once engaged, she must join in the latest battle in a war that has been waged for centuries. Doing nothing is not an option, for the Invisible Order-a secret army dedicated to preserving our world against the Faerie-knows about Emily, and its members will do anything to control her. For Emily, her brother William, and their friend, the street-thief Spring-Heeled Jack, this winter morning is a turning point, and hereafter their lives will be entwined with the Invisible Order, and with Faerie…
