Calling the Gods

HarperCollins 2011 Paperback, 304pp. Thrown hard on the bottom boards, I stared up at distorted mouths, faces so red I could feel their heat. They stank of rage and of something else; several frothed at the mouth; their howls drowned the clatter and shriek of gulls swerving and tilting above the mast .Banishment is the cruellest punishment, and one of the people driving out Selene is the person she loves. Calling the Gods is for older readers. This edition is 'read How You Want' - 'Easy Read Large'. heavy, (ISBN: 9781743095355). Very good.
