Purlieu

by Michaela Daphne

Overview

She ran away with him but should have run from him.

Evelyn is just an art student at Mianjin Arts Academy dreaming of travelling overseas. Until she meets William. Through the Hidden Grove he reveals more than a gap year could ever offer. But as she steps into exotic lands and worlds untouched she discovers there is another side to William lurking below the surface and that his motives might not be as pure as she first thought.

Will she get home before the damage done is irreversible?

With abundant green pastures that veil depths of torment and manipulation, Purlieu is a place you would never want to call home.

Purlieu is the first book of the Hidden Grove series, a three-part young adult fantasy thriller.

About the Author

I'm an Aussie girl that's been dreaming up tales for as long as I can remember, staying up until the wee hours of the morning with pictures running through my mind. This has translated into my love for all written words - story, copy and otherwise. Purlieu is my first book and is inspired by personal experiences of my own life. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband.

Editorial Reviews

“This book takes you on a magical journey that is unlike any other damsel-in-distress story I’ve come across. It takes you on a first-person non-stop adventure a young Australian woman goes through, and shows with explicit and brutal honesty some of the real struggles and issues some young women face, all within a well crafted fantasy world. It is a story of adventure, internal and external struggle, and emotional metamorphosis of a young woman. The story reminded me of a Narnia-like world with a similar sense of awe and adventure, though darker, lonelier, and with more adult themes.”

“I was drawn into the story really quickly and could not put it down – got read in a day! It was a book that could be read on many levels. I did enjoy the fantasy plot lines and the twists on familiar concepts like parallel universes.”

“This book was a page turner – you can’t help but get drawn into the relationship of the two main characters and learn quickly that relationships may not always be what they seem on the outside. It’s a book filled with courage, hope, and will keep you wanting more.”
