Swift

by R J Anderson

Ivy is one of a hidden community of Piskeys living deep underground in the mines of The Delve. Born without Piskey wings, Ivy has always felt different. When members of The Delve begin to disappear and a mysterious stranger is captured, Ivy begins to feel even more set apart. Soon she is questioning all she has ever been told and, in doing so, she edges closer to a dark, brooding danger. Can Ivy unravel the secrets of her family past before everyone she loves is lost to her?

 

Set in an absorbing and intricately layered fairy world, Swift is an exciting, richly plotted novel for older readers. RJ Anderson adeptly weaves ancient myth with topical questions on the nature of threat and protection in a civilised society to create a satisfying addition to her Faery series.
