Scanthax. Penelope is a teenager ensnared in Edda. Can she uncover the truth
about her human past and gain her freedom? And are there other humans still
‘out there’? A fast-moving fantasy from the author of internationally acclaimed

Edda has all the exciting elements of avatars, mythical beings, magic, and
cataclysmic battles, but also challenges the older reader to think deeply about
humanity, power and politics.
