People go to festivals for different reasons...

Rowan, a caring and courageous young woman from a complicated home background, wants to prove herself as a weaver to people from all over Britain. But why doesn't her mother want her to make friends with anyone from the powerful Hawk tribe - which includes attractive Kelvan, who wants to be a full-time harpist, and forget he's the High King's grandson - and his friend Sparrow, who's on a quest to find a husband, and a volcano? As the Autumn Solstice festival week goes by, Rowan, supported by her lynx friend Kezzie, ends up finding out more about life, love - and who really killed her father!

The first of a trilogy, set 4,000 years ago, but with modern twists. This is a YA novel but it has been found to appeal to a whole range of ages as the Harry Potter series of the Chronicles of Narnia do!
