And an utterly adorable cake-stealing otter - wait, what?
When Shay and Svenn save a girl with golden animal tattoos, she brings chaos and danger into their world. From the beginning, it's clear she's not normal. Why doesn't she remember anything? Who is the shadowy figure who attacked her? Why does she see golden-eyed animals whenever she's in danger (which is a lot) Why is Shadow Man now killing people in town? And why can't she go a day without being stabbed, shot or causing chaos?
And why can she feel people's pain?
The answers are hidden in her memories - but she's also hiding from them.
“The island is real isn't it? It's not just natural elements...it's alive."
The broken island of Dernketh is alive, magical - and evil. It controls everything in it's border from the vicious wind to the grating sand. The island is malicious and intelligent, tormenting all it shipwrecks, feeding on their suffering - and it's favourite victim, is Finn, the broken boy.
Finn has spent his entire miserable life on the island. Storm wracked and broken, haunted by everyone he has lost, he has turned numb, refusing to love or hope, preferring to hide in his dark world, his only friend a piano. Every day the island tries to get him to play its sick games saving people and every day he fails -until one day he changes everything when he saves a girl from jumping off a tower.
And the island is not happy about that.
Finn has never won against the island before and is terrified. Why has the island let the girl live? Is she cursed? A trap? The girl Lark, decides that she will save Finn - whether he wants it or not. He does everything to stay away from her but Lark is relentless and like a moth he finds himself helplessly drawn to her light even though he knows he will burn up.
To his horror, Lark stubbornly starts to unravel a dark and sinister mystery. What is the story of the Dragon's Breath? What is the outcast Bern hiding? And worse, what is the dangerous secret that a dead man has protected - a secret that the island will do anything to stop them discovering.
A heart racing, epic young adult fantasy, brimming with deadly adventure, danger and heart, tangled mysteries, tragic backstories, found families, friendship and slow burning first love, all set on a wild and terrible island.
Here's a sneak peek
LARK
"I bit my lips so I wouldn’t interrupt, but his voice trailed away. My heart ached as it often did around him but I didn't find it too hard to picture the tortured child he once was, his only friend, a piano, because that child was still walking next to me. He gazed stoically back, his eyes so lost yet strong, full of fear and anger, loss and pain. And shining beneath, a little candle of hope. He didn’t believe in it. He couldn’t see it because it was buried so deep inside him. But not so deep I couldn’t see it."
