Description
It is the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, the earth wracked and dying.
It is the Bright Day, a time long generations hence, when a peace has descended across the world.
In each era, a child shall be chosen. Their task is to find a dark messiah known only as the Crowman. But is he our saviour – or the final incarnation of evil?

Advance Praise
"A bold beginning to a new duology from the brilliant D’Lacey. Two children embark on a search for meaning that is riddled with ambiguity about the nature of the saviour they seek and which, ultimately, provides a siren call to live in harmony with the land." - Alison Littlewood, author of A Cold Season
"Joseph D’Lacey has written a contemporary fairy-tale; here, in Black Feathers, you’ll get everything you want to find in a work of dark, apocalyptic fiction: menace and magic aplenty, and characters otherworldly, scary and fantastic. A very special story, one to savour."- Paul Meloy, author of Islington Crocodiles
"Black Feathers is poetic and compelling. It’s a gripping story crafted around a deep core of eloquent anger. And it’s scary - it’s the scariest kind of fiction - the kind of fiction that rings true. D’Lacey has written a great book of and for our troubled times."- Tom Fletcher, author of The Leaping
"Folklore and mythology, as well as man’s catastrophic disregard for nature, are the meat of Joseph D’Lacey’s horror. But the prime cuts are always compassion and surprise."- Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual
"Joseph D’Lacey is one of our best new horror writers, delivering surprises, intensity, and scares aplenty with each new book. And with every book, he’s upping his game."- Tim Lebbon, author of The Heretic Land
"If you’re a horror fan and you’re not already reading Joseph D’Lacey you had better have a bloody good excuse."- The Eloquent Page
"Joseph D’Lacey rocks!"- Stephen King
