Award winning author

Shortlisted Small Press Network Book of the Year Award 2023

An epic, high-concept speculative tale with explosive ideas around gender and class, served up with romance, conflict and quick-fire narrative pace.

Isfalk is divided into two classes – the Branded, who are vulnerable to disease, and the Pure, who are bigger, stronger and immune. Orphaned twins Nara and Osha are sequestered in the citadel, where their unbranded skin entitles them to a life of privilege, as precious breeding stock. Nara itches to escape her confines and return to the wilds of the Fornwood where she and her sister grew up, but when she is forced to run, she discovers there's much more at stake than her own life. The Branded are on the rise, and the girls are caught up in their prophecies. Forced to accept the help of a mysterious southern Brand known only as the Wrangler, Nara discovers the latent power lying dormant in uncanny abilities she's had since childhood. But in a world where women are traded as commodities, who can she trust in the lands beyond the Fornwood? What does the Wrangler know about her forgotten childhood? Two sisters without a past hold the weight of the future in their hands.

'An outstanding fantasy debut, evocative and thought-provoking.'
Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters series

'... a rollicking fantasy novel that grounds complex concepts in a pair of fallible, intriguing protagonists and a rich high-fantasy setting that is a genuine pleasure to discover.'
Books+Publishing

'The Branded has a lot to say about class, gender roles and the value of human life, told with an intricate plot, a side dish of humour and a consistently fast pace.'
The Newtown Review of Books
