A TOP 5 CHILDREN’S FICTION BESTSELLER

‘The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder’ - Jonathan Stroud, author of the Bartimaeus trilogy

‘The best kind of children’s fantasy story: thrilling and imaginative while packing an emotional punch!’ - B. B. Alston, author of Amari and the Night Brothers

A FIERCE HEROINE RISES

Twelve has spoken the Pledge and now she is a Huntling. She has given up her name to train in the art of fighting monsters, and she won’t choose a new one until she has earned it. But when her friend is taken, Twelve sets off on a dangerous journey to rescue her. Teaming up with Dog, the stone Guardian of the Hunting Lodge, Twelve ends up on an epic adventure that will change her life, her name – and her entire world.

About the Author

Aisling was born in 1985 and wishes that she had grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom, but was actually raised in Surrey on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After earning a BSc in Biology and working as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for Fireborn came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US. Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing, Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters).
