Co-author Tom Gilling is a respected journalist and acclaimed novelist whose books include The Sooterkin, a New York Times Notable Book, Dreamland and Seven Mile Beach.

To coincide with the release of the book Troy is pleased to announce a run of launch events throughout August and September. All tickets are on sale now.
