About this Event
"A hundred miles from the mainland, half in the sea, half out of it.
The rules are different here..."
Gather round as we welcome author to the shop on Tuesday 10th September at 6pm to celebrate the publication of their wildly magical, and thoroughly captivating new book that weaves together Celtic mythology and folklore whilst exploring the balance between humans and nature,.
All 13-year-old Blair Zielinski wants is a way off the remote Scottish island her parents have dragged her to. Roscoe is home to thousands of deer, a couple of hundred people, a complete lack of phone signal, and some unusual violet-eyed creatures.
Blair is miserable, until an otherworldly woman with antlers, one of the island's darkly magical fey folk, offers her an irresistible deal: complete three tasks and Blair's wish will be granted.
As she unravels the island's secrets, Blair soon discovers that a fey bargain cannot be broken, and her wish has put everyone on Roscoe at risk. Can Blair find a way to save her family, and the place at the edge of the silver sea that she has come to call home?
There will be refreshments and cake, and the opportunity to ask Alex all of your burning questions.
Alex Mullarky is a writer, veterinary nurse and the author ofThe Sky Beneath the Stone. They transport injured seals as a Marine Mammal Medic and scan the sea for whales and dolphins with Shorewatch. Their work with wildlife inspires their stories about nature and magic.
