The Shadow of the Swarm by Susan McNally (Paperback)

Book 2 in the Morrow Secrets trilogy, this is a perfect introduction to fantasy fiction for young adults, continuing a story filled with mystery, magic, and growing danger.

In the land of Breedoor, Talitha Mouldson finds herself drawn further into a world shaped by secrets and supernatural forces. What once felt unfamiliar is now impossible to ignore, as the truth behind her family and the wider world begins to unfold.

Surrounded by a cast of unpredictable and often dangerous figures, Talitha must navigate shifting alliances and hidden motives. Each encounter reveals more about the forces at work, pulling her deeper into a situation she cannot easily escape.

As the journey continues, the presence of magic grows stronger, bringing both wonder and threat. The line between safety and danger becomes harder to define, with every step forward uncovering new challenges.

With her path becoming more uncertain, Talitha must face what lies ahead with determination. The deeper she goes, the more she realises that the answers she seeks may come with consequences she cannot yet fully understand.
