The Fade by Chris Wooding

The astonishing new fantasy from the award-winning author of The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray.

A subterranean world of vast caverns, underground seas, crystalline forests. A civilisation born of darkness, in darkness, protected by shadows. A city of merchants, whose eyes have turned upward to the surface, where the lethal light of day beats down on their world. A conspiracy so vast that it will swallow them all...

A stunningly original fantasy from a multi-award winning author. With a beautiful baroque world, sharp characterisation and Chris Wooding's trademark insight into the fantasy genre, the dawning of Halflight is an event more than worth waiting for.

Chris Wooding

Chris Wooding is a British author who effortlessly blends fantasy, science fiction, and dystopian themes to create thought-provoking, emotionally charged narratives. Known for his imaginative worlds and richly crafted characters, Wooding has a unique ability to transport readers to realms where the boundaries between good and evil, reality and illusion, are often blurred.

Growing up in the UK, Wooding developed a love for storytelling early on, influenced by a wide range of genres, from the dark and gritty to the fantastical. His childhood imagination was fueled by a fascination with both the human condition and the unknown. As an author, he has honed this curiosity into a distinctive writing style that challenges readers while keeping them on the edge of their seats.

Wooding’s books are often set in worlds that are as complex and unpredictable as the characters that inhabit them. His works—ranging from young adult fantasy to science fiction—explore themes of identity, survival, and the moral choices that define us. His Kithamar series, for example, delves into a world of complex politics and intricate magic, while his Tales of the Ketty Jay series offers swashbuckling adventures, steampunk flair, and a deeper exploration of loyalty, redemption, and what it means to find a family in the most unlikely places.

A master of blending the personal with the epic, Wooding’s novels always explore the delicate balance between individual desires and larger societal forces, offering readers more than just action-packed plots. His writing is a reflection of his curiosity about the intricacies of human nature, and his characters are often thrown into situations that demand difficult decisions, forcing them to grow in ways that are both painful and rewarding.

Whether he’s writing about unlikely heroes navigating fractured worlds or crafting deep, philosophical narratives about what it means to be human, Wooding’s storytelling never fails to engage, challenge, and inspire his audience. Each of his books provides an invitation to experience a new universe, one filled with wonder, danger, and the emotional depth that makes his stories truly unforgettable.
