Ivy never knew her mother as she was given away at birth, desperately seeking her she eventually hits lucky and finds a lead on a place called Bardsey Island in Wales.
But the first meeting doesn't go to plan, her mother is scared and just wants her to go away.
She tells her it's for her own safety but why?
Now something from the past has been reawakened and it's now searching for Ivy.
Somehow she is a conduit to the past and her mother gave her away to keep her safe.
Merlin is rising and the only thing to save Ivy are the island witches disguised as cormorants.
But will it be enough and what does Merlin want?
I really loved this, such a quirky fantasy, Ivy and Tom were great characters and really bounced off each other well.
This is a must for fantasy fans in general but also readers into myths, legends and history too.
I only wish it had been longer!
