This atmospheric, romantic YA fantasy—a loose companion to The Wren Hunt—is perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Shea Earnshaw. Two months have passed since Zara’s sister, Laila, was found dead in their small Irish town, not a mark on her. Vicious rumors circle that she died of an overdose or committed suicide—but an autopsy finds no evidence. Determined to learn the truth, Zara throws herself headfirst into an investigation. Retracing her sister’s footsteps takes her to David, a member of an ancient magical group called the Judges. The Judges are in the midst of an ancient feud with another group, the Augurs, and Zara soon finds herself embroiled in their dangerous, twisted games. And if she isn't careful, she could end up with the same fate as Laila. Part love story and part mystery, this magical thriller whisks readers back into the enchanting, but dangerous, world of The Wren Hunt.

I grew up in Cape Town where I worked as an art museum custodian, library assistant, actress in children's musicals, front-of-house duty manager, and university lecturer. My doctorate was in film studies and I've always been obsessed with stories. I attempted my first book (with illustrations) when I was five. At sixteen, I had a vivid dream about a girl and her father who walked a magic garden, hiding an awful secret. This grew into a collection of connected short stories, Moss (Kwela, 2004) which I wrote under the mentorship of André Brink at the University of Cape Town. I was awarded the Caine Prize in 2006. My second book, The Cutting Room (Penguin South Africa, 2013), is about ghosts, sort of, and crime. In 2008, I moved to Galway, Ireland. After The Cutting Room, I knew I wanted to write a fantasy book. When my youngest child was born, I found reading YA books kept me awake during the long nights. I was lost in stories of brave girls. Of magic worlds and dystopias, zombies and vampires, queens and assassins while (almost) everyone around me slept. It was here that the first seeds of The Wren Hunt were planted.
