Synopsis

What manner of legends might darkness conceal?

Darkness, no fourteen-year-old should fear. Or so Bastian believes until he discovers that, in the dark, hides a terror known only to old English legends—a terror that’s stalked him since the day he was born.

England’s Sylphic Kingdom, peopled with its Forest Children and Faeries, its Oakmen and Sunwalkers and Sprites, awaits the coming-of-age of its hero—the Sun Child. For at the hand of a Wight Witch, risen to great power, the Sylphic Kingdom stands on the brink of destruction. And with its fall, so too will perish the natural world.

To discover what hunts him, to understand why, Bastian must realize that some legends, holding both wonders and terrors, are real. And to protect his family, Bastian—a boy who fears the dark, who fears the fight—must face dire challenges and win Sylphic allies. And he must wake his courage. For to unlock the secret to the Wight Witch's defeat, he must embrace who he was born to be, even at the cost of his life.

"Sun Child of the Moor" is a gripping story of a young girl named Brigid who realizes she is the sun child, meant to provide light and warmth to her town. The novel is a touching story of self-discovery, bravery, and the power of belief.


The author does an excellent job of creating a vivid image of the moor and its inhabitants, taking readers to a mysterious realm full of magic and mystery. Brigid's character growth is well-written, as she learns to accept her fate and confront her concerns with courage and resolve.


The tale is compelling and keeps the reader engaged from start to finish, with unexpected twists and turns that add dimension to the story.

The idea of accepting oneself as you are and taking charge of your life is one of the book's main topics.

These ideas are subtly incorporated into the story and give it more depth and significance.
