Raging Star Book Launch with Moira Young - Waterstones Bath

RAGING STAR 

The eagerly-awaited finale to the Costa award-winning Dustlands trilogy 

by MOIRA YOUNG 

In the final instalment of this electrifying trilogy, Saba is plagued by unanswered questions. Her encounter with DeMalo leaves her drawn to the man she knows should be her enemy but she has no choice but to continue to lead the fight against him. Saba knows the price of violence - she has already lost so much in the quest for freedom - now she must decide if it’s worth the fight. 

THE STORY SO FAR...

In Blood Red Road, the first novel in this epic post-apocalyptic trilogy, Saba’s twin brother is stolen by mysterious, black-robed riders. She sets out on a desperate journey to find him but this is a lawless land, where life is cheap and survival is hard. Ahead lie violence and treachery, and Saba needs a spirit as tough as her crossbow to survive. Her companions are the cleverest bird that ever flew, and a handsome thief with eyes the colour of moonlight. 

In the sequel, Rebel Heart, there is a price on Saba’s head. Her victory to save her brother has come at a cost and a new enemy pursues her across the dustlands. Saba is separated from her companion, Jack, at a time when she needs him more than ever. She needs his moonlight eyes, his reckless courage, and his wild heart. But can Saba really trust Jack? 

Blood Red Road – the debut novel by Moira Young - won the 2011 Costa Children’s Book Award. 

The Costa judges called it: ‘An astonishing debut novel which had us all hooked from the beginning to the unpredictable end.’

Film rights for Blood Red Road have been optioned by acclaimed director Ridley Scott.

This decision will split Caroline's fate into two separate paths - and she's about to live them both. But there can only be one happy ending...
