A rip-roaring, island-hopping adventure - and unforgettable
ecological fable - from the award-winning author of Wildspark and
Brightstorm. 'Hardy has drunk from the same cup as Philip Reeve and
Philip Pullman.' - LITERARY REVIEW Ironhold is an orderly place
where "industry brings prosperity", and where nature is pushed
aside for progress. But when Orin Crowfall, a lowly servant boy,
learns that the island itself is in grave danger, that knowledge
makes him a target of powerful forces. He narrowly escapes on a
small boat, but then faces a fight for survival with his robot
friend, Cody, in the stormy ocean, pursued by a terrifying sea
monster. Can they make it to safety, somewhere beyond the horizon?
And will Orin find a way back to save his family before everything
is destroyed? To succeed, Orin will need to dig deep for courage,
trust in new friends, and, ultimately, have faith in himself. This
is fantasy adventure at its finest: riotous adventure, memorable
characters, incredible world building, and a powerful,
thought-provoking message about ecological balance. Perfect for
fans of books by Peter Bunzl, Abi Elphinstone, and Alex Bell
