The first book in a stunning new fantasy adventure trilogy, perfect
for readers aged 9+ and fans of Philip Pullman, Piers Torday, Abi
Elphinstone, Katherine Rundell and Frances Hardinge. In the sky,
the fire spirits dance and ripple. Grandma says they showed our
Tribe that I'd be a captain, before I was even born. Ever since Ma
died, Mouse has looked after her little brother, Sparrow, dreaming
of her destiny as captain of the Huntress. But now Da's missing,
Sparrow is in danger, and a deathly cold is creeping across
Trianukka ... Sea-churning, beast-chattering, dream-dancing,
whale-riding, terrodyl-flying, world-saving adventure.
'Moonsprites. Terrodyls. Beastchatter. The Huntress: Sea is a
heart-thumpingly brilliant adventure. Paver meets Pullman. A real
gem' - Abi Elphinstone, author of The Dreamsnatcher and The Shadow
Keeper 'A glorious world, a wild adventure and a fierce heroine. I
can't stop thinking about this book!' - Robin Stevens, author of
Murder Most Unladylike If you like Northern Lights, The Lie Tree,
The Last Wild and Rooftoppers, you'll love Sea. Don't miss the
second book in The Huntress Trilogy, Sky. Sarah Driver is a
graduate of the Bath Spa MA in Writing for Young People, during
which she won the United Agents Most Promising Writer prize in
2014. She is also a qualified nurse and midwife. Sarah started
writing stories as a small child and lists her influences as
Spellhorn by Berlie Doherty, A Necklace Of Raindrops by Joan Aiken
and the Carbonel books by Barbara Sleigh - those gorgeous, magical
stories that create and nurture readers. When she's not writing,
she can be found walking by the sea, visiting exhibitions, reading
or travelling, often in the name of research. She has seen humpback
whales from an oak boat in the northern seas of Iceland, eaten
cubes of six-month fermented Greenland shark, and journeyed by
train beyond the arctic circle to the far north of Swedish Lapland,
where she rode a slightly obstinate horse through a forest, under
the northern lights, in temperatures of -32 degrees. She has
learned that even horrifying bouts of sea-sickness make excellent
research material. Sea is Sarah's debut novel, the first in The
Huntress trilogy. Sarah lives in Sussex, close to the sea, with
Lily, a street-wise ginger cat and an excitable mini-lop bunny
named Peter.
