Holly Robbins
Werewolf
A YA historical mystery set in sixteenth century Latvia, Werewolf follows seventeen-year-old Mara as she races to solve a series of brutal murders. When her friend is accused of turning into a werewolf and killing the local baron’s stallion, she is thrust into a dark world of superstition and hysteria, which is only heightened when a man is found disembowelled. Will she find the true killer? Can she prove that the town’s fear of werewolves hides a darker secret, without suspicion turning on her and her wolfish dog, Moon?
Holly grew up in Somerset in a house nestled between the moors and the sea and still feels most happy when she is near a body of water. Nowadays, she lives on a cosy narrowboat on the River Avon. Inspired by a deep love of mythology, she went to university to do Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies. She writes stories inspired by British folklore, the sea, music and friends, as well as Vikings, monks, mandrakes and other historical curiosities. Her imagination is entirely fuelled by tea and daydreams. When she’s not writing you’ll find her painting flowers on things, or desperately trying to catch the attention of a nearby dog.
