What if the spirits aren't monsters after all?
Shane Arbuthnott's debut novel, Dominion, was nominated for multiple awards, including the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. That novel's sequel, Terra Nova, published in 2018, also received great critical acclaim. His short fiction has appeared in On Spec and Open Spaces. Shane grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and now lives in Regina with his family.
"Sometimes a book comes along that rocks you back on your heels,
smacks the self-pity, the selfishness, and ignorance out of you,
and makes you ashamed of your own timidity. And sometimes that book
happens to be a kids' book. Read Dominion, and then read Terra
Nova. Read them for you. Read them for your kids. Read them to your
kids. Let your kids read them and ask you questions. I don't care
how you do it; I'm just asking you to do it."-- "Sci-Fi & Scary

"What a fabulous read! There are elements of Airborn and The Golden
Compass there...and there was also a huge welter of originality, a
charming band of characters—including some truly horribly
baddies—and, well, all the ingredients to make it an
extraordinarily imaginative first novel. What a poignant plea for
our environment, not to mention a stirring indictment of slavery in
all its myriad forms. A truly moving book. I hope there are many
more to come."-- "Tim Wynne-Jones, award-winning author of The
Emperor of Any Place"
