Shortlisted for the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize 2009 and for the Independent Booksellers' Book Prize 2010.

The dramatic, horrific and sometimes romantic events of the French
Revolution, which Sally Gardner so brilliantly portrayed in The Red Necklace
are moved on a stage in this equally vivid and richly imagined sequel, yet stand-alone novel, which allows those already hooked to the exploits of the fascinating and compelling characters to really engage in a turbulent time in world history. Yet those who have not read The Red Necklace will be equally drawn into the quality and richness of the story and the superb characterisation. As well as providing a terrific insight into a brutal and sometimes horrific period of European history the reader will find many threads - secrets, magic, heroism and murder as well as a touching love story - to keep them turning the pages to the very end.

Meg Rosoff on The Silver Blade:

"The Silver Blade is a tale of swashbuckling heroics, a tragedy dripping with blood and loss, a delicious loves story set in the whirling heart of the French Revolution."

Meg Rosoff on the author, Sally Gardner:

"I bow to her storytelling brilliance."
