Castles of Steel and Thunder

12 years +

In Caithness, in the time of faeries, Sysa Steel lives a secluded life with Grey, her grandfather. That all changes when Grey takes Sysa to a faerie mound and she disappears into a strange, mysterious world. Once there, Sysa discovers the truth about her family and a quest for vengeance that threatens their existence. Meeting Brodie and Lavellan complicates things, while answers seem to lie in the stories Grey told her as a child. With everything at stake, Sysa must challenge the force of the Castle of Thunder.

In a world full of magic, is the power of stories the greatest power of all?

Pieces of Sky and Stone

12 years +

In the fae kingdom of Fyrish, Sysa Steel is known as the light-bringer after stopping a giant’s reign of darkness. But the past casts a long shadow, and Sysa is still healing from a broken heart.

The strange pull that once drew Sysa towards Brodie now forces her closer to Lavellan, and an uneasy alliance with her old enemy. A new threat sees them return to Caithness, where Sysa finds herself searching for a healing stone – and making a surprising discovery about her family’s past.

Things are never quite as they seem, though, and Sysa is soon caught in a web of betrayal and deceit when she is forced to fight for the future of her kingdom against an unexpected challenger.
