The extraordinary second book in the epic Shadow Skye trilogy.

In a world of shadows, hope can be found...

Agatha and Jaime have rescued their clan and returned home to Skye as heroes. But when Agatha uncovers a threat to their people, she unwittingly releases a terrible power that could kill every living thing on the island. Jaime must race to Scotia to hunt an ancient blood magic, which may be their only chance of survival.

Meanwhile, Sigrid, a Norvegian girl with an unusual gift, journeys to the court of Ingland where a dangerous alliance is forming - one that will soon turn its vengeful eyes to Skye. Sigrid will have to risk everything if she and the people of Skye are to survive the gathering shadows...

MEDIA REVIEWS

Featured in The Bookseller's January Previews 2021, - The Bookseller

It kept me hooked from page one. While aimed at a teen/young adult audience, it makes an incredible read for any fantasy-lover, regardless of age. Eerie, thrilling and mind-bending […] spectacular! - Fallen Star Stories Blog

The storyline is amazing, I really loved how all the characters are so different from each other, but without all of them the story would not be as good as it is. - Reader, Age 12, Toppsta

I really loved The Good Hawk, and I think (with the addition of Sigrid) I love The Broken Raven even more! The plot was so gripping, and I love the way that each chapter is unique to the character whose POV it is from. […] I can't recommend it enough! - Reader, Age 13, Toppsta

The story is exciting and full of adventure and journeys which all link up. There’s personal battles, actual battles and good against evil. I’d recommend it for ages 11/12 up - I can’t wait for the next one! - Reader, Age 11, Toppsta
