What to expect
Years after a violent war destroyed much of the world, Kaspar has grown up in a society based on peace and harmony. But beyond the city walls, a vicious band of rebels are plotting to tear this peace apart. It is up to the Guardians - an elite peacekeeping force - to protect the city, without ever resorting to the brutal methods of their enemy.
When Kaspar joins the Guardians, he has a chance encounter with a rebel - a beautiful girl named Rhea. Haunted from that moment on by strange visions and memories - memories that could only belong to Rhea - he realises he hasn't been told the truth about what the rebels really want, and what he's really fighting for.
Critics Review
-
As ever, for Blackman, story is king. The dialogue is vivid, inclusive, full of energy and ribald humour . . . her legions of fans have a treat in store
Guardian -
A tense plot, convincing world and sassy dialogue demonstrate exceptional storytelling skill
Sunday Times -
Blackman is a terrific storyteller whose strongly drawn characters thrill young readers and draw them into dilemmas about love, loyalty, truth and violence
The Times -
Expertly plotted and well-paced, Noble Conflict also touches on telepathy and the ability to turn memory into reality
Independent -
Malorie’s back with a new novel exploring love, violence, trust and betrayal . . . highly anticipated
