YA Novel (suitable for all adults, 13yrs+) – Science Fantasy – ISBN: 9781922858627
Book II in the Palude series, following on from the events in WHEN DARK ROOTS HUNT, which was shortlisted for the 2024 Ditmar Award for Best Novel!
When Dark Waters Burn will be coming out in May 2025 from MidnightSun Publishing!
Here’s the blurb…
Stay out of sight. Stay hidden under the lake. Even as giant water-ants scout the surface, and deadly trees slop their hungry roots along the shoreline. For unrest surges in the swamps, getting closer and closer…
Sala will only be safe for as long as their ship’s location remains a secret.
But when a horrifying threat ignites, the lakeside hillfarms are forced to reveal a desperate truth that unleashes a wreckage of terror and destruction on the world of Palude. What Sala fears most becomes irrelevant. All she can do is run, and make one irrevocable choice after another. If she’s to have any kind of future, she must fight to accept the collapse of her past.
Hiding from it was never an option.
