About This Book

The salty sea breeze tickles your nose as waves crash against jagged cliffs. Somewhere beneath the water, a hidden kingdom waits, where magic whispers in the wind and secrets sleep beneath the surface. Finn-witchson, a boy born between worlds, is about to discover who he truly is—and it’s a journey that will change everything.

It explores themes of identity and adventure within a richly imagined world, appropriate for readers aged 9 to 12. Parents should note it contains folklore-inspired magic and mythical elements but no graphic content.
