Bloomsbury Children to publish The Wren Hunt in February 2018

The Wren Hunt is a YA fantasy set in contemporary Ireland.

Ellen Holgate, editorial director of Bloomsbury Children's, says of the book, "It's so different from anything else out there that I’m reluctant to pigeon-hole it into a genre. The setting is contemporary, but with a deep, ancient magic thinly veiled from view – it sizzles with romance, betrayal, deceit, lies and magic. The tension at the heart of The Wren Hunt makes it read like a thriller, but the high concept is backed up by exceptional writing.’

Bloomsbury will publish a second book in 2019.
