A stunning debut perfect for fans of Patrick Ness and Neil Gaiman!
The Danék is a wild, treacherous river, and the Fobisher family has tended it for generations—clearing it of ice and weed, making sure boats can get through, and fishing corpses from its bleak depths. Wulliam’s father, the current Riverkeep, is proud of this work. Wull dreads it. And in one week, when he comes of age, he will have to take over.
Then the unthinkable happens. While recovering a drowned man, Wull’s father is pulled under—and when he emerges, he is no longer himself. A dark spirit possesses him, devouring him from the inside. In an instant, Wull is Riverkeep. And he must care for his father, too.
When he hears that a cure for his father lurks in the belly of a great sea-dwelling beast known as the mormorach, he embarks on an epic journey down the river that his family has so long protected—but never explored. Along the way, he faces death in any number of ways, meets people and creatures touched by magic and madness and alchemy, and finds courage he never knew he possessed.
Martin Stewart’s debut novel is an astonishing blend of the literary, the comedic, and the emotionally resonant. In a sentence, it’s The Wizard of Oz as told by Patrick Ness. It marks the beginning of a remarkable career.

In a city overrun by war, Luka doesn’t have time for games. So when his little sister asks him to care for her faeries as she’s sent away to escape the air raids, he dismisses her childishness. But it’s already more than he can bear to see her go, so
he promises to do as she asks.
A promise that Luka quickly breaks. In an empty home, anger and frustration get the better of him. Instead of leaving an offering for the faeries, he flings their saucer of milk as far out the window as he can. Big mistake. The faeries are not
only very real, but they’re more terrifying than he could have ever imagined. And now they want revenge.
With the aid of his new friends–a savvy techie, a quiet evacuee, and an unlikely ally–Luka has three days to turn his house into a fortress. But his problems are even more complicated than he thought: it’s not just the faeries
who are out to get the Wild Huntsboys …
If Luka fails, those closest to him will pay the price–and time is running out.
