Description

The magical Sidhe have been expelled from their home and forced into the Grey Land – a place under the earth; a place of darkness and death. But now they’ve returned to take back what they lost.

All teenagers will be called, and when your time comes, you have to be ready to run or fight to the death. The vengeful Sidhe will grab you by surprise – you could be studying or hanging out with friends when suddenly you’re pulled into their terrifying world, alone and hunted. Only one in ten will return alive – the rest subjected to a tortuous and painful death.

No one believes Nessa can survive The Call, but after years of torment and, worse, pity – she’s determined to prove them wrong . . .

The perfect read for fans of Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth.

Publisher Review

A brilliant compelling adventure . . . Don’t miss it. * The Bookseller * The Call is dark and brutal . . . its power is undeniable. It channels Irish mythology into modern teenage life with an energy that recalls Alan Garner. * Frank Cottrell-Boyce * Like nothing I’ve ever read before. * Non Pratt * I loved, loved, loved this story . . . simultaneously lyrical and realistic. I couldn’t put it down. * The Bookbag * Mixes fantasy, horror and folklore (aka it’s PERFECT for Game of Thrones fans). * Buzzfeed * Beautiful, powerful, vindictive, capricious . . . definitely recommended for anyone who likes an exciting, frightening tale. * Irish Independent * A benchmark of outstanding, suspenseful fantasy . . . it’s absolutely electrifying. * Starburst Magazine * Think The Hunger Games meets Lord of the Flies. Truly an original . . . The story is so gripping, you can’t put it down. * Serendipity Reviews *
