Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this captivating middle-grade fantasy-adventure, a young girl must save her brother from a secret order of monster hunters.

Ottilie Colter and the Narroway Hunt follows Ottilie Colter and her brother, Gully, who have always fended for themselves. When Gully goes missing one night, Ottilie sets out to find him and soon makes a horrible discovery. Gully has been forcibly recruited by the Narroway Hunt, a secretive male-only organisation that hunts savage, blight-spreading monsters called 'dredretches'.

Disguising herself as a boy, Ottilie infiltrates the Hunt but quickly realises that taking her brother home won't be easy. Trapped in the heart of the dredretch-infested Narroway, it's impossibly dangerous for them to leave. As she trains to become a Huntsman alongside her brother, hoping for a chance to escape, how long can she keep her true identity a secret?

From Rhiannon Williams, the first-ever middle-grade winner of the Ampersand Prize, comes book one in this bewitching trilogy about friendship, bravery, and having the courage to do what's right. Perfect for fans of Withering-by-Sea by Judith Rossell and A Most Magical Girl by Karen Foxlee.
