"Absorbing, stunning, and emotionally rich." —Locus
The journey through M. R. Carey's "immersive, impeccably rendered world" (Kirkus) — a world in which nature has turned against us — continues in The Trials of Koli, book two of the Rampart Trilogy.
The earth wants to swallow us whole...
Koli never planned to set foot outside his small village. He knew that beyond its walls lay a fearsome landscape filled with choker trees, vicious beasts and Shunned men. But when he was exiled, he had no choice but to journey out into this strange world where every moment is a fight for survival.
And it's not just Koli's life that is threatened. Whole villages just like his are dying out.
But Koli heard a story, once. A story about lost London, and the mysterious tech of the Old Times that may still be there. If he can find it, there may still be a way for him to change his own fate - by saving the lives of those who are left.

      This middle volume in Carey's postapocalyptic Rampart trilogy continues the story of Koli, a boy exiled from the village of Mythen Rood for uncovering its rulers' secrets. Koli and his friends, the scientist Ursala, a young trans woman named Cup, and the self-aware (and somewhat stereotypically written) Japanese AI Monono, continue towards lost London to trace the mysterious signal from someone known only as The Sword of Albion. Along the way they have to overcome carnivorous seeds, marauders, and their own wariness of one another. Meanwhile in Mythen Rood, a plague puts the entire community in danger and puts an enormous amount of strain on the eldest member of the ruling Vennastin family, Rampart Remember. Koli's childhood friend and newly married member of the Vennastins, Spinner, comes to be relied on to help the eldest Rampart, and begins a journey that will transform her village forever. At times feeling like a YA-oriented version of Jeff Vandermeer's Borne (2017), this novel should please Carey's existing fans as well as fans of the postapocalyptic subgenre in general.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
