Win up to 10 copies of Sentinel of the Sun by Eira Morgan-Jones

For Young people

Debut YA, fantasy novel by Eira Morgan-Jones.

Seventeen-year-old Alexis struggles to fit in to the extremely religious valley where she lives, not helped by strange birthmarks that have begun to glow.

When a tidal wave devastates the valley, just the latest freak disaster, Alexis goes into hiding to avoid being taken in by the state.

As she becomes closer to Theo, he reveals that he is a sentinel and believes she is one too. He explains that if she regains her power they can bring an end to the disasters.

A fast-paced, epic YA fantasy set in an original world but with a distinctively Welsh flavour, Sentinel of the Sun deals with challenging themes including LGBTQ+ issues, class struggles, environmentalism and patriarchy, making it an incredibly captivating and powerful read.
