The Hollow Sea is a captivating tale of mystery and magic,set against the backdrop of the remote islands of St Hía.
A bold, magical story

JO BROWNING Wroe, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Terrible Kindness, has written a majestic work of the imagination. A Terrible Kindness is a heart-rending atmospheric novel of finding what makes one whole.

A majestic work of the imagination. I woke up thinking about it. ROSIE ANDREWS, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Leviathan, said, "A majestic work of the imagination. I woke up thinking about it."

An atmospheric tale, shot through with folklore. The writing shimmers. KATE SAWYER, Costa shortlisted author of The Stranding, said, "An atmospheric tale, shot through with folklore. The writing shimmers."

They say the Hollow Sea is cursed. A wild expanse separating the remote islands of St Hía, not even the locals brave its treacherous waters.

But new arrival Scottie feels a pull she can't ignore. Because behind the curse is the legend of Thordis: a woman whose story feels eerily familiar. No one knows what became of her, but Scottie believes Thordis's fate may answer questions about her own past.

Despite the islanders' warnings, Scottie sets out to discover the truth. But as she dares to cross the Hollow Sea, will its secrets give her the answers she needs? Or will the past drag her under?

A heart-rending atmospheric novel of finding what makes one whole. Melissa Fu, author of Peach Blossom Spring, said, "Mesmerising. Good Housekeeping. A poetic tale. Prima. The Hollow Sea is a captivating tale of mystery and magic, set against the backdrop of the remote islands of St Hía."
