"To save his home, he has to leave it behind...

When Elān trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elān’s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is.

Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior.

As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story."

THE NEEDFIRE is coming South of the border - see MK Hardy at Litfest, Lancaster's Autumn Weekend!

Join us on Sunday 19th October, 2pm at Lancaster library, where they will be discussing the process of co-writing with the superb Oliver K. Langmead (co-author of THE CITY OF ALL SEASONS with our very own Aliya Whiteley)! Tickets only £6. Book here: https://geni.us/MKHOKL

MK Hardy's 'REBECCA for the Highlands' is a Scottish, sapphic, gothic where a new bride arrives at her husband's home to find it oozing with atmosphere and crackling with tension. Nothing is quite what it seems, the roots of the past run deep, and even the earth is angry...

"You are afraid of the border places. You are afraid of the fork in the road.

Fleeing her mistakes in Glasgow for a marriage of convenience, Norah Mackenzie’s new home on an estate far in the north of Scotland is a chance for freedom, a fresh start. But in the dim, draughty corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong. Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own.

As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing."

"No one writes gothic like Isabel Cañas...terrifically terrifying, richly imagined, impossibly sensual and as luminous as the quicksilver that spills across its pages.” —Roshani Chokshi , NYT bestselling author of THE LAST TALE OF THE FLOWER BRIDE

Next month, THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DÍAZ - hits UK shelves. Are you ready to be obsessed? https://geni.us/palbad

"In 1765, plague sweeps through Zacatecas. Alba flees with her wealthy merchant parents and fiancé, Carlos, to his family’s isolated mine for refuge. But safety proves fleeting as other dangers soon bare their teeth: Alba begins suffering from strange hallucinations, sleepwalking, and violent convulsions. She senses something cold lurking beneath her skin. Something angry. Something wrong.

Elías, haunted by a troubled past, came to the New World to make his fortune and escape his family’s legacy of greed. Alba, as his cousin’s betrothed, is none of his business. Which is of course why he can’t help but notice her every time she enters a room or the growing tension between them… and why he notices her deteriorate when the demon’s thirst for blood grows stronger.

In the fight for her life, Alba and Elías become entangled with the occult, the Church, long-kept secrets, and each other… not knowing that one of these things will spell their doom."
