What to expect
'Doyle’s talent for creating windswept, stormy tension and physical threat sweeps all before it. This is one for a seaside holiday, whatever the weather’ The Daily Mail
In the brilliant sequel to The Storm Keeper's Island, winner of the Books are My Bag Readers Award, Fionn Boyle finds himself at the heart of the fight for the island's survival.
Fionn Boyle has been Storm Keeper of Arranmore for less than six months when thousands of terrifying Soulstalkers arrive on the island. The empty-eyed followers of the dreaded sorceress Morrigan have come to raise their leader and Fionn is powerless to stop them. The Storm Keeper’s magic has deserted him and with his grandfather’s memory waning, Fionn must rely on his friends Shelby and Sam to help him summon Dagda’s army of merrows.
But nobody else believes the ferocious sea creatures even exist. And how can he prove he’s right without any magic? As Fionn begins his search for the lost army, the other islanders prepare for invasion. The battle to save Arranmore has begun.

Critics Review
-
Even better than its wonderful predecessor. It’s laugh out loud funny and heart-breaking in equal measure, with stakes so high that you can barely catch your breath until you turn the last page. This book is one to treasure and it marks Catherine Doyle as a breakout star in middle grade fiction
Louise O'Neill, author of The Surface Breaks

Exceptional ... It kept me on the edge of my seat, had me laughing out loud and made me weep. Beautifully written, emotionally compelling and tremendously exciting, it cements Catherine Doyle as one of the strongest children's authors writing today
Katie Tsang, co-author of Sam Wu is NOT Afraid of Ghosts
-
The Lost Tide Warriors takes everything that made The Storm-Keeper's Island so special and runs with it – more action, higher stakes, an expanding mythology at once supremely high-concept and so real it feels like it lives just down the road. Doyle is a born storyteller ... A book you won't be able to put down
Dave Rudden, author of the Knights of the Borrowed Dark series
