'This magical, warm, gorgeous, moving book captured my heart completely. I loved it!' Louise O'Neill, award winning author of Idol 'When the past confronts the present, an ancient magic surfaces and Marina discovers how grief creates beasts and how forgotten gods can rise again. This incredible story ebbs and flows, tugging at the reader like a tide and washing them through magical lands and Alice In Wonderland dreamscapes.  With touches of Studio Gibli and Susan Cooper – but written with dew-drop clarity – it’s an original, absorbing and utterly beautiful read.' Rachel Delahaye, author of Electric Life 'A startling, unforgettable, and deeply moving story, featuring a heroine whose courage and sense of adventure will stay with you long after her tale is told. Unique, remarkable, and uniquely remarkable.' Sinéad O'Hart, author of The Eye of the North 'A beautiful, poignant and magical read about family life, loss, and the importance of having a good scream every now and then! Loved it.'  Lou Abercrombie, author of Coming up for Air
