The Comet’s Child
The Comet’s Child begins the adventure of Fin, a boy who knows nothing of himself yet is of the greatest interest to all around him. Set against a background of turbulent political change in an imagined European past - or is that future? - The Comet’s Child charts Fin’s perilous journey into an uncertain world where he cannot tell friend from foe - the enigmatic Cardinal Foscany, grim Commander Khazumyr, the flamboyant worm-slayer Amygdassar Eskaterian; even his protector, the flawed and mysterious Ragg - each has his own plan for Fin, while all Fin wants is to make his own way - back to Ulla, the love of his life.
