Fresh and original . . . this is gripping fantasy adventure packed full of the wild and wonderful, from horses conjured out of water to fierce dragons. Above all, though, it is so full of love. Woven through is a thread of loyalty and kindness and being brave on your own terms . . . An absolutely extraordinary book. Magnificent.Liz Hyder in praise for Quill and the Last Generation
