Genre: YA FANTASY<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 21ST<\/sup> April 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n Publisher: <\/strong>Lightfoot Press<\/strong><\/p>\n In a Victorian era where the industrial revolution has been replaced by superstition and magic, Britain is a place where wolves roam freely and children with magic are snatched from the streets. This is home for thirteen-year-old witch, Annie and her baby sister, Georgina. When their mother dies, Annie and Georgina find themselves saved from the workhouse by the mysterious Ernesto Black. But Black\u2019s motives are far from pure and soon Annie faces new, even more dangerous threats. What does Ernesto want from Georgina? And can Annie trust the other teenagers living with Ernesto: Polly, who has her eye fixed firmly on inheriting Ernesto\u2019s fortune and will do anything to make sure she gets it, and the charming Isaac, who would do anything to win Polly\u2019s affections \u2013 legal or not.<\/p>\n Fearing for Georgina\u2019s safety, Annie is faced with a terrible choice: she can try to guard her sister from the ever-present threat of Ernesto, or she can leave the child out in the wilds of the New Forest in the hope she\u2019ll be found and taken in by a new family, ignorant of her powers. Annie chooses to leave Georgina\u2019s future to chance and steals her away from Ernesto\u2019s house in the dead of night.<\/p>\n But Annie\u2019s troubles are far from over as her actions set in motion a chain of events that will take her and Georgina into danger she could never imagine. This danger drags country girl, Charlotte Harding into the fray and threatens every one of the teenagers, and it leads them right into the heart of the powerful organisation responsible for the assassination of Queen Victoria, an organisation that wants only one thing: Hell on Earth \u2013 quite literally\u2026<\/p>\n FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE MEMORY GAME AND THE SKY SONG TRILOGY, STORM CHILD IS BOOK ONE OF THE STORM CHILD TRILOGY.<\/p>\n Excerpt<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The basket the girl carried was almost as large as her and she gasped as she stumbled, nearly dropping it.\u00a0 It had been dragged on a stolen handcart along dark, silent roads until she reached the edge of the heath. The cart was useless on the dense undergrowth here and now she walked with her precious cargo, crooning to it as she laboured under its weight.<\/p>\n Biting back tears, she took one last look around.\u00a0 Her gaze returned to the lights of the tiny house.\u00a0 Was this close enough?\u00a0 Would the basket be found?\u00a0 What would happen if it wasn\u2019t?\u00a0 But the girl had no choice.\u00a0 The alternative was a fate far, far worse.<\/p>\n She opened her mouth and clear, high notes rang out across the darkened terrain.\u00a0 A few moments passed, the girl singing in the darkness, until a shadow appeared on the horizon and crept towards her.\u00a0 The wolf approached and bowed its head.<\/p>\n \u2018Thank you,\u2019 the girl said.\u00a0 \u2018You will protect her until she is claimed.\u00a0 After that, your will is your own again.\u2019<\/p>\n The wolf stared at the girl, as if in a trance.\u00a0 Then it sat next to the basket and turned its eyes to the heath.<\/p>\n Buy Links<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n AMAZON UK<\/a><\/p>\n AMAZON US<\/a><\/p>\n ABOUT SHARON SANT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Sharon Sant was born in Dorset but now lives in Staffordshire. Aged eight she wrote a poem about ET, which received the ultimate praise of being pinned onto the classroom wall, and from that moment on she knew she’d never stop writing. She graduated from Staffordshire University in 2009 with a degree in English and creative writing. She currently works part time as a freelance editor and continues to write her own stories. An avid reader with eclectic tastes across many genres, when not busy trying in vain to be a domestic goddess, she can often be found lurking in local coffee shops with her head in a book. Sometimes she pretends to be clever but really loves nothing more than watching geeky TV and eating Pringles.<\/p>\n Young adult novels Sky Song, The Young Moon and Not of Our Sky (the Sky Song trilogy), The Memory Game and Runners were all released in 2013 to glowing reviews. Dead Girl Walking followed in 2015 and she has a new trilogy planned for 2016, the first book of which, Storm Child, is due for release in April.<\/p>\n Sharon also writes children’s fiction under the name of Summer Hopkiss.
