Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Morrigan Crow is cursed.

Born on an unlucky day, she is blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on Eventide.

But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away to a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to pass four difficult and dangerous trials - or she'll have to leave the city and confront her deadly fate.

PRAISE FOR NEVERMOOR: THE TRIALS OF MORRIGAN CROW

'Townsend's intensely cinematic writing, quirky humour and superior world-building conjure a genuinely fresh take on magical fantasy' The Bookseller

'An extraordinary story full of magics great and small, from the Hotel Deucalion to the Magnificat ... Townsend has created a book of wunders. In Morrigan Crow I've found a heroine I'm willing to step boldly after, and follow her wherever her adventure takes her next' Kiran Millwood Hargrave

'Unexpected, exciting and funny' Judith Rossell

'A compulsively readable romp that fans of Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett or Studio Ghibli will gobble up' Books + Publishing

About the Author

JESSICA TOWNSEND lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with her dogs, Vivien and Rik. Her pet fascinations include public transport, ancient cities, hotels, opera singers, Halloween, secret societies and gigantic cats - all of which have weaselled their way into Nevermoor, her first series and a city that feels like it belongs entirely to her. (Except now it belongs to you, too.)
