Merel introduces us to her world. A world ruled by traditions and shadowed from the fierce sunlight. This small community lives in twilight, huddled on a scrap of an island in a village called Littleton, in the middle of a vast sea near a place that used to be called Christchurch. Some can no longer remember where the traditions came from, and some think they are cruel. But Merel finds comfort in the certainty that it has all been done before and will be again… that is until everything changes.

“New Dawning compels readers to continue turning pages by steadily tightening the screws of suspense. Life in the island community is richly detailed, but every detail gradually makes the reader more uneasy, from the spying pigeons to the rigidly enforced work rules. This is a gripping novel with a skilfully constructed plot, a convincing premise and engaging characters.”

Magpies

“New Dawning is well written and has interesting and likeable characters. The first part sets the scene and hints at more adventure, danger and revelations to come for Merel, Ren, and their families. I am keen to discover what happens next when the second part releases.”
