Ivy has spent years looking for her birth mother, but when she finally finds her on Bardsey Island, she is shocked by what greets her. According to folklore, the cormorants that fly over the remote Welsh isle are the terrifying witches of Arthurian legend - and they are searching for Ivy. Her mum warned her not to come and to stay away from the lighthouse, but now it' s too late. As the shadows draw closer, Ivy must look deep within herself if she wants to survive. For not every story in folklore is true, and some evils aren' t what they seem. . . An unputdownable new stand-alone novel from the bestselling author of THE TWISTED TREE and THE CROOKED MASK.
' The Twisted Tree is a romantic, creepy, hugely atmospheric story. I loved it. ' - L. A. Weatherly ' I really enjoyed this book - well written, an original idea, with an unusual setting and some fantastic moments. Martha is a great character and I like the fact that she isn' t an automatic hero, that her bravery isn' t a given. ' - NM Browne, author of WOLF BLOOD ' Creepy and amazing' - MTV UK ' The Twisted Tree is billed as a YA novel, but don' t let that fool you - this is a ghost story that will get under the skin of the most hardened reader. It' s a slow burner that makes fantastically creepy use of its isolated Norwegian setting, and expertly combines Nordic mythology with the supernatural. In many ways, it feels a bit like Neil Gaiman' s Coraline collided with Catherine Storr' s Marianne Dreams, with a smidgen of Beowulf thrown in for good measure' - Starburst Magazine ' Rachel Burge presents us with a stunning intermingling of Norse mythology, horror, and an unusual coming of age. Hauntingly beautiful descriptions, juxtaposed against a ramping relentless sense of peril. Wonderfully eerie, deliciously frightening, a perfect story for a dank and windy night in front of the fire' - Bookbag
