In Other Lands

Sarah Rees Brennan

Elliot is a nerdy, cantankerous human pacifist in the Borderlands, a magical realm inhabited by enchanted creatures that are continually at war. He faces the question of whether he can help bring peace to this divided place. The novel is a fantasy story by Sarah Rees Brennan, and black-and-white drawings introduce its chapters. Its central conflict places Elliot’s pacifism against a world shaped by ongoing magical warfare.
