Pan

About this book

A brutal modern Italian retelling of the story of Peter Pan, now in English for the first time.The finest modern fantasy you'll read this year. Across the sprawling metropolis of Rome, children dream of an island that doesn't exist. An old god returns. Anarchy, destruction, and extreme emotions nourish it. A new god has emerged. Order and subjugation are its intentions. They fought once before. This time it will be to the death. Magic is returning to the world and in the skies above the city, children clash with pirates while deities old and new fight for dominance of Rome. Below, the population moves on, oblivious, while the city watches and steels herself for the bloodshed to come. And the people will learn Pan is coming, and it's coming for them.
