DescriptionA gripping, beautifully-told fantasy quest set in a parallel medieval world. Three friends and a one-eyed raven find themselves up against the rulers who restrict the gifts of writing and reading to an elite few. They must go on a wild and unpredictable rescue mission. Who and what will they meet along their way? And what is the terrible truth behind everything they think they know about their world? Reviews'As delicate as it is potent, The Raven's Eye Runaways is a hot, pungent pot of tea. With every gulp, you'll be transported to a heady, haunting world where words are a currency reserved for the few, and paid with the price of spilled blood. A feverish love letter to the written word, I dare you to read it--you will be bewitched!' Graci Kim 'Sparky and spooky, humorous and luminous.' ELIZABETH KNOX 'I adored it.' RACHAEL KING 'Beautiful, warm and assured debut.' HERA LINDSAY BIRD 'Claire Mabey writes like a dream.'
