Cover art shows a lethal, pale-scaled serpent-dragon or wyrm lurking in woodland. It looks straight at you as its forked tongue flickers between open, sharp-toothed jaws. Book extract reads: ‘You can make yourself useful with that other paddle, as long as you do exactly what I say, as soon as I say it.’ She was completely serious now. ‘One hand on the top, and the other one halfway down the shaft. Don’t try anything you think you’ve seen on TV. Just use the paddle on your right-hand side and stick to a steady rhythm. I’ll follow your pace. But wait until I’ve turned us around.’ ‘No problem.’ I would do whatever she said. I can swim because I had to learn at school. I didn’t want to have to prove that today, especially when I couldn’t see what might be in the water. Witta is more at home on the water, salt or fresh, than I – or any other human – was ever going to be. She’s a nereid, the daughter of a river spirit and a merman. A lot of families who’ve lived in the Fens for generations have had regular dealings with the uncanny. Witta’s had plenty of experience adjusting her outward appearance to pass as human. If anyone gets close enough to see the webbing between her middle and ring fingers, most visitors are too polite to mention it. She tells curious kids it’s because her grandmother was a mermaid. They think that’s a brilliant joke.
