Unraveller cover

From Frances Hardinge, the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree comes her latest speculative adventure, Unraveller

An epic fantasy world awaits, from Costa Award-winning author Frances Hardinge.

Welcome to your new fantasy obsession . . .

In a world where anyone can create life-destroying curses, only one person has the power to unravel them. Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but uses it to help those who have been cursed, including his ally and closest friend, Nettle. But Kellen himself is cursed, and unless he and Nettle can release him, he is in danger of unravelling everything - and everyone - around him.

For fans of Leigh Bardugo and Neil Gaiman comes Frances Hardinge’s spectacular novel Unraveller. Called her ‘best yet’ by the Guardian, Hardinge expertly weaves together mythology and mystery in a richly-detailed world besieged by curses.

‘Exquisite . . . sheer perfection’Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts

‘Instantly engrossing, effortlessly clever, and completely magical’Freya Marske

This multilayered, humane and brilliant YA fantasy is the Costa-winning Hardinge’s best yet. * The Guardian *
Extraordinary. Exquisite and compelling. Sheer perfection. -- Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts
It’s gothic and twisty and witty and gripping: dark and delicious and fresh and I loved it. -- Katherine Rundell
One of the most mesmerising journeys I’ve ever taken within the pages of a book. -- Hilary McKay
A gloriously creepy, intricate masterpiece full of tangles and knots for the reader to get caught up in. -- Adrian Tchaikovsky
Hardinge is an extraordinary writer for teenagers.. atmospheric illustrations add to the ghostly drama * The Daily Mail *
A fabulously eerie tale that boldly confronts mortality.. the stunning illustrations by Emily Gravett cleverly capture the narrative's haunting mood.. the book is deceptively multi-layered * The Telegraph *
