Synopsis Author

From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl Service

A disturbing exploration of the inevitability of life.

Under Orion’s stars, bluesilver visions torment Tom, Macey and Thomas as they struggle with age-old forces. Distanced from each other in time, and isolated from those they live among, they are yet inextricably bound together by the sacred power of the moon’s axe and each seek their own refuge at Mow Cop.

Can those they love so intensely keep them clinging to reality? Or is the future evermore destined to reflect the past?

Alan Garner

Titan of British fantasy, Alan Garner debuted in 1960 with the magisterial novel of Cheshire myth and mystery The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, embarking on a strange and remarkable trilogy he would not conclude until 2012’s haunting Boneland. Along the way, Garner completed several other children’s tales, including the Carnegie Medal-winning The Owl Service, plus two novels for an adult audience. Lauded by figures such as Neil Gaiman and Ali Smith, Garner’s influence on our fiction runs deep.
