The choices they make will not only determine their own futures but will also have vast and permanent consequences—they will either restore a cosmic balance or destroy the dams that separate two worlds, ending them both.

Hidden below the surface, the world of the Fountain is vast: unexplored and unmapped and full of wild things—leviathan and tiny, scuttling things and all manner of creature in between. There are other entities as well, entities that haunt and hunt in the Fountain, because it rewards nearly as often as it punishes, and it has been punishing the greedy and merciless and cruel for a very long time. For those, the Fountain becomes a prison.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The borders between our world and the world of the Fountain are already porous. If the balance between them is upset and control of the Fountain is lost, the consequences will be rapid, merciless, and world-ending. In every timeline that has been or will be, everywhere that water stands in our world will become a passageway for the violent damned to enter ours from the Fountain. For Ember, Miles, and Sam, all from different times, what starts as a journey to take control of their lives quickly becomes a quest to save—or destroy—both worlds, depending on whom you ask.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRising star and Bram Stoker Award-winning author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e, Lora Senf has created a gorgeously written, pitch-black fantasy that will transport readers to a world that is as beautiful as it is horrifying and will keep readers on their toes as they devour it page by page.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56300412961141,"sku":"9781454955290","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781454955290_9a347cb0-63b0-4f76-820f-66b096ac284d.jpg?v=1786020829"},{"product_id":"9781665967259","title":"Pennies","description":"One hundred years prior to the events of The Clackity, four best friends are drawn into a deadly scheme when they set out to investigate the strange disappearances taking place in the eerie town of Blight Harbor in this “compelling and imaginative” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade adventure.

Someone else has already been through that door, and it’s triggered something incredibly dangerous. Maybe deadly.    Back in Blight Harbor, strange disappearances are taking place. The most worrisome being that of Brigid’s cousin, who has been spending an awful lot of time with the unusual and untrustworthy John Jeffrey Pope.

Perfect for fans of Kate Alice Marshall and Claire Legrand.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ​\u003cbr\u003e Reckless, depressed, impulsive and sixteen, Harrow Lane is going to an island that shouldn’t exist to look for answers about the death of her father—the father who accidentally cursed her shortly after she was born. Things immediately go very wrong—beginning with the sinking of the boat that brought them to the island and an ominous chuckle from something that shouldn’t be there—and keep getting worse in ways they couldn’t possibly imagine. Harrow and friends came without being invited and whatever lives there doesn’t like visitors.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e With no way to reach the outside world and no understanding of the rules of the island, Harrow and her friends are in mortal danger, and knowing who can and can’t be trusted is a thing they left back on shore. Matters are only complicated by Harrow’s emotions—she’s given her biggest feelings human faces and personalities and does her best to keep them locked away in a seedy motel she built in her mind. But emotions are sneaky, and she’s having to face them at the worst possible time. It’s creating sort of an “Inside Out in hell” situation as they fight for survival against a creature that seems to be made entirely of terror and who very well might spell the end of the world.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490275598709,"sku":"9781454965060","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781454965060.jpg?v=1786442162"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-lora-senf.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
