Hope's Ruin
Scarecrows of Coldharbour Farm: Book 2
Advance Reader Copy
Blurb
When the last shreds of hope crumble to dust, the dead shall rise!
Erin loved Number Twelve with all her heart. She was the kindest, bravest, most terrifying scarecrow in all creation. But she’s dead now… Isn’t she?
The oceans have retreated and a desiccated world now dwells beneath monstrous clouds that threaten a second storm. Erin knows it’s coming. She’s been busy. She’s prepared for anything. But when an urgent knock rattles her door in the dead of night, she’s dragged into a grave new world governed by her darkest nightmares.
Erin has not prepared for this. Erin needs another miracle.
'Return to Oz' meets 'The Wild Robot' in Neil J Hart’s adorably terrifying fantasy adventure where climate change has ravaged the planet, destroyed humanity, and ushered in a grave new world!
