STORM HAGSKirsty and Angus are embarking on a family sailing trip around the world when their parents disappear in a storm and their boat, the Marianne, is shipwrecked. Marooned on the hidden island of Gruinsoye they find a land full of mystery and menace, magic and mayhem. What should have been the experience of a lifetime suddenly turns into a struggle for survival and escape. The paintings below are designs created from the chapter where Kirsty and Angus visit the Stack of the Storm Hags at the end of the Dark Shore. |
