Morveren finds herself drawn to Malin and Ingo while her little brother Digory hears music coming from the waves. It’s his tail that’s injured – Malin is a son of the Mer. Morveren, however, discovers more than she bargains for when she comes across Malin, a boy, a little older than herself, who has been stranded on the rocks and is injured.
One day a great storm strikes the coast, bringing the islanders together to search for shipwrecked sailors. Twin sisters Morveren and Jenna, almost 14 years old, live on an island that is joined to the Cornish mainland by a causeway that only emerges at lowtide. In Stormswept we are introduced to two new young siblings who are on the cusp of growing into themselves. It is indeed a beautiful book on the outside, so what about its innards? The cover alone was enough to make me know I had to read it. One of the reasons why I was so eager to read Helen Dunmore’s original Ingo series was the publication this January of the first in the new Ingo Chronicles, Stormswept.
