Birdy is different. She wants answers.

Where do companions come from and what evil stalks them? Why do none of them remember anything prior to Arrival Day? And why is Birdy the only companion able to control light and read minds but unable to fly? Only the Elders have the answers. And they’re not talking.

Bodney’s differences have left him facing laughter and ridicule for fifteen years. Then one night, in a remarkable act of heroism, a powerful bond is forged between the two loners.

When the Gnarlacre colony is viciously attacked not even Arcadia’s magic can prevent devastation. After uncovering evidence, buried deep within the Elder’s mind, of a terrifying enemy from another world, Birdy realises that only she can offer hope to a mortally wounded rival. Her desperate plan will set in motion a chain of events that could lead to the destruction of the colony and, ultimately, Gnarlacre itself. It will test her newfound friendship to the limits, for it will take her and Bodney face to face with an ancient terror, lurking in the great oak’s forbidden Lower Reaches.

But Birdy has gazed into the foretelling flames and is struggling with a question. Once you have seen the future are you left with any choice?

Birdy is the first book in the Gnarlacre series – the tale of a young girl whose epic journey to discover her origins will change the fates of worlds.

Sometimes the greatest danger lurks within.

Arcadia has been abducted by the Fey-beast and the remaining Elders cannot be woken. Without the First Elder’s protection the companions are deeply vulnerable to threats both in this world and from Fey. Forming a new Council, they attempt to take responsibility for their fate, unaware that sinister forces are already stirring within Gnarlacre.

When Morgayne reappears, the forgotten Elder is armed with the power of the newly restored Old Tongue. Taking charge, she ushers in a new order.

The arrival of a mysterious stranger leaves Birdy considering a life with Bodney beyond Gnarlacre’s boundaries. Kirryk appears to be torn between Delphinium and the newcomer, Domino, and he has little time left for Birdy. Seeking an answer to Domino’s true identity, the young elve sees, instead, a vision of a hideous future. Domino seems powerless to prevent Morgayne’s influence from spiralling out of control and consequences of a shocking nature are now inevitable.

With the colony on the brink of disaster, the two friends find themselves facing a desperate journey – only to discover an ally in the most unlikely of people.

Morgayne is the second book in the Gnarlacre series – the tale of a young girl whose journey to discover where she come from will change the fates of worlds
