'Vanya is my new favourite neurodivergent fantasy heroine! A wondrous magical world, curious secrets and monsters from myths makes an exciting new fantasy adventure. I adored it!' - Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend
Eleven-year-old Vanya Vallen can talk to books. But more importantly, the books talk back.
When her family is attacked by a monster she believed only existed in legends, Vanya discovers that her parents have been keeping secrets, and that monsters do exist. Soon, she is whisked off to the enchanted school of Auramere, where she joins the ranks of archwitches and archivists.
Auramere is full of magic . . . and monsters. And the Wild Hunt is on the prowl. It’s up to Vanya to unmask its leader and stop them from destroying the only place she’s ever truly belonged.
Sangu Mandanna is the critically acclaimed author of several fantasy novels for children, including Vanya and the Wild Hunt and Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom. She also writes romantasy for adults, like the bestselling The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Sangu lives in Norwich, a city in the east of England, and spends her spare time playing videogames and catching up on the many, many books she wants to read.
Kristina Kister is illustrator of Vanya and the Wild Hunt and a character designer from Essen, Germany. After graduating in Communication Design she worked as a junior art director in an ad agency in Düsseldorf. Today she is a freelance illustrator illustrating pen&paper books, children’s books, developing character and concepts for German TV shows and all kinds of projects which involve illustration work.
