Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells and corridors, but metal forests, dilapidated cities, and wilderness. It has been sealed for centuries, and only one man has ever escaped. Finn has always been a prisoner here. Although he has no memory of his childhood, he is sure he came from Outside. His link to the Outside, his chance to break free, is Claudia, the warden's daughter, herself determined to escape an arranged marriage. They are up against impossible odds, but one thing looms above all: Incarceron itself is alive . . .

Review:
One of today's best fantasy writers...readers can look forward to a deliciously dark and scary ride (The Independent)

Complex and richly imagined (New Welsh Review)

Imaginatively drawn and vividly described (School Librarian)

Catherine Fisher is an artist with words -- a brilliant writer and of fantasty and Incarceron maintains the high standard set by The Oracle and The Snow Walker trilogies...An engrossing, intricate story of an extraordinary journey undertaken by richly imaginative characters (Carousel)

Complete and believable. The story is wholly engaging and rushes along at a breathless and nail-biting pace with plenty of heroic moments and near misses...A gripping read that should enthral both young and old fantasy fans alike. (Buzz)

Beautifully imagined and realised...a barnstorming piece of serious fantasy that doesn't put a foot wrong...tense and fast-paced with a real atmosphere of menace (The Bookbag)

Fisher remains a superb writer (Write Away)

One of this year's most striking fantasy novels (The Times Online)

The plotting is intricate and the levels of legend and action are multi-layered...A tense and complicated fantasy adventure (Books For Keeps)

One novel stands out above all others...thrilling...a modern version of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, though given a better plot, people we care about and a prose style honed by decades of writing poetry (The Times)
Book Description:
Dark, powerful and compelling, from the award-winning author of the Oracle.
