The Promise is an adaptation of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year by Nicola Davies and Laura Carlin. A thief tries to snatch an old woman's bag but she cannot have it without giving something in return.

George wakes up to find himself several months in the past before being recruited for the Lazarus Project – a secret organization that turns back time when the world is at threat of extinction.

In a world cleaved in two by a massive barrier of perpetual darkness, a young soldier uncovers a power that might finally unite her country. But as she struggles to hone her power, dangerous forces plot against her. Thugs, thieves, assassins and saints are at war now, and it will take more than magic to survive.
