About this Event
Join us for what promises to be a fantastic evening with bestselling YA fantasy author S.F.Williamson as we celebrate the release of A Storm of Swallows.
A thrilling conclusion to S.F.Williamson’s award winning YA fantasy series, A Storm of Swallows, finds Vivien forced to make unthinkable sacrifices as she navigates a tangled network of international dragon and human alliances. An epic, sweeping, unputdownable fantasy and the conclusion to the bestsellingA Language of Dragonstriology.
S. F. Williamson is fascinated by the way languages are born and was surrounded by them long before she undertook a degree in French and Italian. From her Grandma’s rolling Scottish R’s and her Nan’s ability to slip from English to Welsh, to the dialect spoken in the French village she grew up in, Steph has always known that languages are creatures that live and move and breathe. As a child she learned that speaking them meant accessing ideas, traditions and people she would only otherwise know from a distance. A Language of Dragons is inspired by her work as a literary translator and the fact that no matter how intimately a linguist knows their languages, some meaning is almost always lost in translation. A graduate of Bath Spa University’s MA Writing for Young People programme, Steph now lives in France with her husband and two cats.
Please Note: The Book & Ticket option includes a copy of A Storm of Swallows (RRP £16.99) to be collected on the night.
