Their mother is afraid of the power of the ocean but their father Matthew is drawn to it. Sapphire and her brother Conor live next to the sea, above the rocks which hide a difficult trail to the tide waters. The four novels are set at the point where Cornwall meets Ingo, the world of the Mer. The novels are aimed at Young Adults but if there is a little bit of you that imagines a world beneath the waves, populated by Mer men and women, whales that understand the deepest mysteries of the oceans, dolphins with intellect and spirit enough to play, and the mysteries and dangers that mark the crossing of childhood into adulthood, then the Ingo series will not fail you, no matter your age. I had no idea that these four novels – Ingo, The Tide Knot, The Deep and The Crossing Of Ingo – would enchant me to such an extent that I read the series in a week, with the majority taking only a day to complete. Although Stormswept is the first in a new series of Ingo Chronicles I quickly decided that I could not read it until I had first taken a look at the preceding Ingo set of novels by Helen. I was captivated by the idea of Stormswept by Helen Dunmore when it was published earlier this month. Buy: Ingo, The Tide Knot, The Deep, The Crossing of Ingo
