Magic. Romance. Portals. And war. Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments, Red Queen and Twilight.

What if there was another you, living in another world?

Seventeen year old, Dezaray Storm is blamed for the death of her parents, hated by her brother and secluded from her friends, but that doesn't stop her from believing in magic.

Visions of the future, mysterious cloaked figures and a handsome stranger with the ability to teleport, lead to Dezaray tumbling through a portal and into another world where she is mistaken for its most powerful sorceress and saviour.

But in a twisted turn of events, the true sorceress ends up lost in our world, wandering the streets of England with a broken device and the whisper of forgotten magic to guide her. The realm of Coldivor is on the brink of war, its enemies grow restless and its shadows have eyes. Only the true sorceress can help tip the scales in their favour and the two girls must trade back before their 18th birthday when the war that could shatter both realities, will rage.

For a tale of misguided and powerful heroines, finding yourself in the midst of chaos and discovering secrets laid to rest, read AT WATER'S EDGE, a young adult epic fantasy that readers are comparing to Cassandra Clare, Sarah J Maas and Victoria Aveyard.

SNEAK PEEK

As I walk, I allow the woods to claim my mind. I appreciate the low hanging

branches of the tall robust trees, the flutter of the wind rippling the surface

of the stream and the scuttles and flurry of the wildlife.

Something shiny in the shadows strikes my eyes. Peering through the

lampposts’ haze, I recognise the man I’ve dubbed Tinfoil leaning against a tree

just off the path. I call him Tinfoil because that’s what he always wears:

tinfoil hat, coat, and fingerless gloves. I often see him on the weekends

in town, yelling out predictions and profanities at passers-by. Most people

give him a wide birth – especially since he once told a man he was heading

for a fall, and the next thing I knew, that same man was in a wheelchair

– however, I’ve never really bothered. Tinfoil never offends me in any

way and usually fails to notice my existence, keeping his head down and his

crinkling hands inside his torn pockets.

I move closer, preparing to give my usual nod on the off chance he looks my

way, but stop when his head twists in my direction. His eyes widen with that

crazed look I’ve seen him give others, and he jumps into my path.

‘I see the light,’ he gasps, ‘shining bright. Walk through it.’

I furrow my brow.

‘I see the light!’ he cries, ‘shining bright. Walk through it.’

My heart pounds as I stumble to get around him but he keeps leaping in my way.

‘I see the light. Shining bright. Walk through it.’

Oh dear. A crazy person is telling me to walk into the light, this can’t be

good. I pretend to step one way, and when he follows, quickly step another,

finally getting around him. His gloved hand grips my wrist, the folded foil

poking at my skin.

‘Get off!’ I exclaim.

‘Tonight free.’ Tinfoil leans close, so close I can see a spit bubble bobbing

from one lip to the other as they meet. ‘Tomorrow a cage.’

I gulp, twisting my wrist, but he’s surprisingly strong for such a withered character.

‘Tonight free. Tomorrow a cage.’ His eyes leave mine and lower to the ground.

‘Tonight free. Tomorrow a cage.’
