Morgawr

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the weight of past mistakes or navigating a complex, perhaps even fractured, relationship with a sibling. While set in a high-fantasy world of airships and sorcery, the core of the story is deeply psychological. It explores how we can help someone we love find their way back from a dark place, even when they have done things that seem unforgivable. It is a powerful tool for discussing the difference between who someone was and who they can become. This epic finale follows Bek Ohmsford as he attempts to save his sister, the Ilse Witch, not just from the villainous Morgawr, but from her own crushing guilt. The story balances high-stakes action with quiet moments of empathy and moral reckoning. Due to its themes of redemption and the presence of some darker imagery, such as a crew of the walking dead, it is best suited for readers aged 12 and up who are ready for a sophisticated look at the battle between good and evil within the human heart.
