What to expect
The island of Ramoa was once lush and roamed by mighty beasts. Now though, it is home to barren and tamed cities, where nature is locked out and trouble is brewing.
When Kayla's beloved animal companion, a rare winged pangron, is stolen, she's determined to get him back. But to do so, she'll have to leave her city and journey into the wild and forbidden Beastlands.
There, she meets Rustus, an exiled young warrior, and Alethea, a healer desperately seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. As their quests unite them, they'll adventure across the lands they know so little about, leading them to discoveries both great and terrifying. Not least that the beasts they've always been taught to fear might not be so terrifying after all...
The first instalment in an epic new fantasy adventure series for readers of DRAGON REALM, FIREBORN and SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF.
Critics Review
-
Hugely exhilarating and wildly imaginative, BEASTLANDS is a truly magnificent new fantasy series. Prepare to fall in love with Alethea, Rustus and Kayla as they embark on a heartstopping adventure packed full of intrigue, twists and a multitude of magical creatures.
Aisling Fowler, author of FIREBORN
-
BEASTLANDS is a triumph of imagination and animal lore. A non-stop thrilling adventure, Jess French has combined her training as a vet with a vibrant creativity. She has built a world with words that readers will marvel at, creatures they'll long to meet, and characters they'll adore journeying to Frostfall Mountain with. I could not put this book down, and I'm as hungry as a salinka for the next one.
M. G. Leonard, author of BEETLE BOY
-
A smart, imaginative fantasy, packed with magical creatures, which asks us to think about the damage we may have done to upset the ecological balance in our own world.
