November 2019 Debut of the Month | Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2020

Lina, born into a Soviet prison camp, has to find her way in the world when she escapes with some very disreputable characters. She is chased by her best friend, shadow wolves and a terrifying sorceress taking revenge on humankind. Without her friend Bogdan and her slow discovery of the magic she has she would perish – and she very nearly does on several occasions – in this gripping, bewitching story.  

The story combines all the best elements of a straightforward adventure with friends and a magically invested tale, echoing some of the folk tales of the area.  The reader can taste the fear engendered by Svetlana the sorceress, and marvel at the bravery of the two young heroes in their battles against her and also the sheer determination needed to survive the awful winter climate.  This novel will have a wide appeal, with characters that are carefully drawn – and appealing to both boys and girls.  The mix of horror, magic and adventure make it very readable – a great read for a winters evening.
