A wild and gripping novel about one woman's quest to reintroduce
wolves to the Scottish Highlands at any cost. Inti Flynn arrives in
the Scottish Highlands with fourteen grey wolves, a traumatised
sister and fierce tenacity. As a biologist, she knows the animals
are the best hope for rewilding the ruined landscape and she cares
little for local opposition. As a sister, she hopes the remote
project will offer her twin, Aggie, a chance to heal after the
horrific events that drove them both out of Alaska. But violence
dogs their footsteps and one night Inti stumbles over the body of a
farmer. Unable to accept that her wolves could be responsible, she
makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn't
make the kill, then who did? And can she trust the man she is
beginning to love when he becomes the main suspect? Propulsive and
unforgettable, Once There Were Wolves is the spellbinding story of
a woman desperate to save her family, the wild animals, and the
natural world she loves, at any cost. 'Blazing...Visceral...As
McConaghy shows in this stunning book, the limits of language lead
us to the limits of empathy.' Los Angeles Times 'Bold...A heartfelt
and earnest novel' New York Times Book Review

'An extraordinary novel... as beautiful and as wrenching as
anything I've ever read' Emily St. John Mandel A dark past. An
impossible journey. The will to survive. Franny Stone is determined
to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic
terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica. As animal
populations plummet, Franny talks her way onto one of the few
remaining boats heading south. But as she and the eccentric crew
travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Franny's
life begin to unspool. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must
confront what she is really running towards - and from. From the
west coast of Ireland to Australia and remote Greenland, this is an
ode to the wild places and creatures now threatened, and an epic,
moving story of the possibility of hope against all odds.
______________ READERS LOVE MIGRATIONS: 'Wrenchingly beautiful'
'Visceral, heart-breaking' 'Simply phenomenal' 'Raw and gripping'
'Riveting' 'Here's your next favourite' 'A story...about love,
passion, wandering' *Previously published as The Last Migration*
Perfect for fans of Divergent, this series is about a civilization
where negative emotions have been erased, creating a world of
mindless drones where only those with fury can survive.
Eighteen-year-old Josephine Luquet wakes up naked and covered in
blood on the same day every year-when the blood moon is full. Josi
has not responded to the "Cure"-an immunization against anger
mandated by the government-and believes herself to be a threat to
others.
Then she meets Luke. Luke has had the Cure but seems different
than the other "drones"-and he's dead set on helping Josi discover
the truth about herself before the next blood moon.
But time is running out. Is Luke willing to risk his life to be
near her? Does he truly understand what violence she is capable of?
Raw and full of passion, Fury is a story of love in a dystopian
world, and how much we are willing to forgive in the struggle to
remember our humanity.
