'What all the best fiction should be; something rich and strange.' - Marcus Sedgwick 'A tale of adventure, a love story, an unveiling of quiet phantasmagoria and horrors and a coming of age story, this grips and enchants and you never want it to end. A seductive new voice.' - Maxim Jakobowski, Lovereading.co.uk |

'This is the territory of Jungian archetypes, or the Seven Basic Plots, but the old ones are the good ones.' - Guardian Shortlisted for the Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award |
