A rich fantasy adventure trilogy, full of warring clans, deadly shadows and devastating plagues...

If everything was taken from you, what would you do to get it back? Agatha patrols the sea wall with pride, despite those in her clan who question her right to be there, because of the condition she was born with. Jaime is a reluctant Angler, full of self-doubt and afraid of the sea.

When disaster strikes, the pair must embark on a terrifying journey to a land where forgotten magic and dark secrets lurk in every shadow... Thrilling and dark, yet rich with humour and compassion, this novel marks the debut of a wonderful new voice in fantasy and a welcome new kind of protagonist - perfect for fans of The Girl of Ink and Stars, Garth Nix and Michelle Paver.

  • The first in an epic new fantasy adventure trilogy aimed at young teens. 
  • The Good Hawk aligns most closely with Michelle Paver’s internationally acclaimed and bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, which is set in a pre-agricultural Stone Age Europe. It is also perfect for fans of Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom series (Sabriel etc.), Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Kiran Millwood Hargrave's The Girl of Ink and Stars. 
  • Protagonist Agatha has Down's syndrome in a world where her condition is unnamed, making her an unusual and much-needed fantasy protagonist.
