Synopsis

"Rich in mysteries, enlivened by surprises, and suffused with suspense. It is so beautifully wrought, it reminds us why we love to read, and there can be no higher praise." —Booklist (starred review)Vango has been in danger for as long as he can remember. The second half of Timothée de Fombelle’s epic adventure follows its dashing hero through the years between World Wars and across Europe as he flees dark forces and unfounded accusations. Narrow escapes, near misses, and a dash of romantic intrigue will rivet adventurous teens to their seats as Vango continues to unravel the mysteries of his past. In the shadow of a rapidly changing world, can Vango find those who have hunted him for so long and uncover his true identity?

What an absolutely amazing journey these two books took me on. Absolutely loved the characters and they way their stories were revealed, slowly building up their relationships with each other.
