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 close to home, and the lakeside hillfarms are forced to reveal a desperate truth, it 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. Praise for When Dark Roots Hunt (Ditmar Award Finalist for Best Novel 2024): 'Fresh, action-packed and utterly compelling. I loved it.' Ian Irvine, internationally bestselling author of The Gates of Good and Evil series 'Filled with danger, tension, and intrigue. Blending fantasy, sci-fi, and a dash of dystopia... not to be missed. Four and a half stars (out of five)' Jodie Sloan, The AU Review 'A refreshing breeze with bite.' Bookworm for Kids 'An immersive, fantastical world with tension poised to snap at any moment. I couldn't put it down.' USA Today bestselling author Dionne Lister, The Circle of Talia
