Shadowlark

“They only come at night, when the Star fades”

Lark Ainsley escapes the Iron Wood to search for her brother, only to find herself captured and imprisoned in an underground metropolis.

Powerful magic protects the city of Lethe, providing sanctuary from the Empty Ones, monsters who hunger for human flesh.

But this magic comes at a terrible price, and the city lives in fear of their leader Prometheus and his gang of Eagles.

Danger lies in the shadows, and Lark must find the light . . .

Reviews

Spooner's follow up is even stronger and more gripping than the debut and is sure to ensnare further loyal readers.

—— Booklist

Fans of the first novel will be delighted; those new to the trilogy will be as well, assisted by enough backstory to follow the action, and both groups will eagerly await the concluding volume.

—— Bonnie Kunzel , Kirkus

Action-packed

—— Telegraph

One of the most attractively produced works of junior fiction

—— Robert Dunbar , The Irish Times

A riveting story . . . Raises questions about religion and highlights the dangers of ignorance. But equally, it is a tale of love and family, and their ability to conquer all . . . As a physical thing, it is a beautiful book. From the dustcover to the endpapers, it is a joy to hold

—— Children's Books Ireland - Inis magazine

I had my socks blown off by this book - it was so addictive and just so much fun! I stormed through it, loving every second . . .
